We extend a standard on-the-job labor search model to include an initial period of high separation rates until the job stochastically becomes more stable. Meanwhile a worker’s UI entitlement varies in generosity (based on their former wage) and duration (based on their employment history). The separation structure means that some workers have extended periods of frequent job loss. The UI system amplifies these effects because workers with low benefit eligibility apply for low wage jobs. Their subsequent applications then leave them more highly susceptible to future job loss. Our calibration suggests that this effect accounts for around 1% lower lifetime average wages.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48153,"journal":{"name":"Labour Economics","volume":"93 ","pages":"Article 102690"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143508492","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In equilibrium, the wage gap is equal to the insurance premium, and individuals work longer hours to compensate for the loss in income.

While the liquidity component captures the value of relieving the cost to access liquidity during unemployment, the insurance component captures the value of protecting the worker against a potential permanent future income loss. We develop a novel, sufficient statistics method to identify the cost of accessing liquidity during unemployment, as well as the liquidity and insurance components of the value of UI. Our method requires only the labor supply responses to changes in the potential duration of UI and severance payment, and we implement it using Spanish administrative data. Our estimated monthly liquidity cost during unemployment is 1.6 percent, with important heterogeneity across groups of workers. Workers with more cash on hand have a small cost, while both wealthier and poorer workers have a similarly high cost. Shutting down the liquidity component decreases the value of UI by 76 percent. Across groups, liquidity is all that matters for wealthier workers, while the insurance channel is crucial for poorer workers. These results cannot be inferred from directly comparing the elasticity of job search to UI shocks as used by Chetty (2008). Finally, we show that while extending the potential duration of Spain’s UI would increase welfare, starting a zero-interest rate public loan program would be more welfare-improving, even under large default risks.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48153,"journal":{"name":"Labour Economics","volume":"93 ","pages":"Article 102691"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143548740","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The wage penalty appears to be driven by differences in job mobility and wage returns to experience rather than by non-random selection. We show that workers who had their first job in EOFs have a strong attachment to this organizational model and are less likely to experience both voluntary and involuntary job separations over their careers, with quit and layoff rates 8% and 4% lower, respectively. In addition, we quantify lower wage returns to experience in EOFs, although there are no differences in subsequent career progression in terms of promotions.

The data set enables me to distinguish whether non-participation is due to a lack of training funding or individual training participation costs. Consequently, I can model the impact of hypothetical policy interventions targeting training funding or individual participation barriers. I find that non-formal on-the-job training positively impacts employees’ employment persistence by reducing the rate of job layoffs and the disutility of work. Counterfactual simulations show that individual barriers to training are quantitatively important, and their elimination would have a higher potential to increase training participation than increases in training funding.
