"The Allocative Channel of Cyclical UI", July 2024. New!
[draft]
This paper studies the implications of cyclicality in unemployment insurance (UI) for worker-firm sorting patterns and the normative implications for UI design. In a model of labour market sorting, changes in UI policy can affect the allocation of workers across jobs. We use worker panel data from the SIPP to provide novel evidence for several key mechanisms and to bring the model to the data. We find in the model that countercyclical UI policy contributes strongly to worker-firm sorting over the business cycle and can deliver welfare gains.
