Scarring Effects of Remaining Unemployed for Long-Term Unemployed School-Leavers This study investigates whether and to what extent further unemployment experience for youths who are already long-term unemployed imposes a penalty on subsequent labor market outcomes. We propose a flexible method for analyzing the effect on wages aside of transitions from unemployment and employment within a multivariate duration model that controls for selection on observables and unobservables. We find that prolonging unemployment drastically decreases the chances of finding employment, but hardly affects the quality of subsequent employment. The analysis suggests that negative duration dependence in the job finding rate is induced by negative signaling and not by human capital depreciation. JEL Classification: C33, C41, J62, J64

متن کاملDuration Dependent UI Payments and Long-Term Unemployment
Matching frictions imply the value of being unemployed depends on the stream of future UI payments. The sooner a worker's eligibility to UI payments expires, the lower the value to remaining unemployed. In the moral hazard literature, declining UI payments are used to trigger greater search e®ort. Here declining UI payments undermine the worker's bargaining position and (partially) corrects the...
