Register today!About the SeminarHow should unemployment insurance be designed when workers differ in their earnings, wealth, and experience with unemployment?This seminar examines how differences across workers affect unemployment insurance (UI) eligibility, take-up, and replacement rates. Using individual-level data, the study documents substantial variation in how workers access and use UI depending on their economic circumstances and unemployment duration.The authors then incorporate these findings into a model that combines an incomplete-markets framework with a frictional labor market. They find that accounting for labor market heterogeneity and endogenous UI take-up leads to substantially more generous optimal UI policies.The research also highlights an important consideration in UI design: workers who choose to take up UI may value the insurance most, and the welfare gains from providing greater insurance to these workers can outweigh the costs associated with increased take-up.About the SpeakerKurt See is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Economics at the National University of Singapore.
