20.500.12556/RUP-8355 The effect of unemployment benefit generosity on unemployment duration quasi-experimental evidence from Slovenia The paper analyses the effects of a 2011 increase in the unemployment benefit replacement rate on the job-finding rate of Slovenian benefit recipients. Using registry data on the universe of Slovenian unemployment benefit recipients, we exploit legislative changes that selectively increased the replacement rates for certain groups of workers while leaving them unchanged for others. Applying this quasi-experimental approach, we find that increasing the replacement rate significantly decreased the hazard rate of the transition from unemployment to employment, with an implied elasticity of the hazard rate with respect to benefit replacement rate being 0.7 to 0.9. The results also show that the increase of the unemployment benefit replacement rate does not affect the job-finding probability of jobseekers whose reason for unemployment is employer exit, and that the effects of the increase of replacement rate are present only upon exit to employment and not to inactivity. nadomestilo za brezposelnost zavarovanje za brezposelnost verjenost pridobitve zaposlitve unemployment insurance unemployment benefit replacement rate job-finding rate true true false Forschungsinstitut zur Zukunft der Arbeit Angleški jezik Neznan jezik Znanstveno delo 2016-08-03 04:07:25 2016-08-08 10:41:10 2024-03-01 13:35:27 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2015 0 [Bonn] 0 26 str. 0000-00-00 NiDoloceno NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 364.334:331.5 1538098116 http://ftp.iza.org/dp9548.pdf 1 https://repozitorij.upr.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=8354 Fakulteta za management 0 0 0
