Resumen

Abstract

The design of an efficient Unemployment Compensation System (UCS) is a common concern of policy makers in OECD and transition countries. In most of these countries the UCS is organized in two programmes: unemployment insurance (UI) and, mainly after UI lapse, unemployment assistance (UA), see Atkinson and Micklewright (1991) for a survey. Traditional approaches analyse the effect of benefits on unemployment duration using only UI data (Stancanelli, 1998; Gonzalo, 2002) or deal with UA data as a mere extension of UI (Stancanelli, 1998, 1999; Alba-Ramirez, 1999; Arranz and Muro, 2004; Juradja, 2004) instead of an analysis that accounts separately for transition rates from UI and UA after UI has expired. The objective of this article is to demonstrate that traditional approaches do not deal with UCS data in a proper way leading thus to biased estimates of unemployment– employment transition probabilities.
