| Título: | Lessons from the U.S. Unemployment Insurance Experiments |
| Fuente: | Journal of Economic Literature. v.33, n.1. American Economic Association |
| Páginas: | pp. 91-131 |
| Año: | Mar. 1995 |
| Resumen: | Recent social experiments have evaluated two reforms of the unemployment insurance (UI) system: reemployment bonuses and job search programs. The bonus experiments show that economic incentives affect the length of UI receipt and provide weak evidence that an earlier return to work does not decrease earnings. The experiments do not show the favorability of a permanent bonus program as they ignore its effect on the number of the claimants. The job search experiments test several more promising reforms. Nearly all of the combinations of services and increased enforcement reduce UI receipt and have favorable cost/benefit analyses. Earnings often increase, though the estimates are imprecise. |

| Título: | Workers’ Compensation and Injury Duration: Evidence from a Natural Experiment |
| Fuente: | American Economic Review. v.85, n.3. American Economic Association |
| Páginas: | pp. 322-40 |
| Año: | June 1995 |
| Resumen: | This paper examines the effect of workers’ compensation on time out of work. It introduces a ’natural experiment’ approach of comparing individuals injured before and after increases in the maximum weekly benefit amount. The increases examined in Kentucky and Michigan raised the benefit amount for high-earnings individuals by approximately 50 percent, while low-earnings individuals, who were unaffected by the benefit maximum, did not experience a change in their incentives. Time out of work increased for those eligible for the higher benefits and remained unchanged for those whose benefits were constant. The estimated duration elasticities are clustered around 0.3-0.4. |

| Título: | A Longitudinal Analysis of the Young Self-Employed in Australia and the United States |
| Fuente: | Small Business Economics. v.6, n.1. Kluwer Academic Publishers |
| Páginas: | pp. 1-19 |
| Año: | Feb. 1994 |
| Resumen: | This paper examines the pattern of self-employment in Australia and the United States. We particularly focus on the movement of young people in and out of self-employment using comparable longitudinal data from the two countries. We find that the forces that influence whether a person becomes self-employed are broadly similar: in both countries skilled manual workers, males and older workers were particularly likely to move to self-employment. We also find that previous earnings are important determinants of transitions to self-employment. The main difference we observe is that additional years of schooling had a positive impact on the probability of being self-employed in the US but were not a significant influence in Australia. However, the factors influencing the probability of leaving self-employment are different across the two countries. |
