Husband’s Unemployment and Wife’s Labor Supply: The Added Worker Effect across Europe (2018, neutral): “These might be explained by the crowding-out effect of the countries’ unemployment insurance (Cullen and Gruber, 2000; Ortigueira and Siassi, 2013) or by individual unobserved heterogeneity obscuring the added worker effect (Maloney, 1991).”
Job loss and family adjustments in work and schooling during the Mexican peso crisis (2006, background): “Cullen and Gruber (2000), for example, estimate that women’s work hours would be roughly 30% higher during their husbands’ unemployment spell if there were no unemployment insurance benefits and that the nonemployment rate of wives with unemployed husbands would drop by almost 45%.”
Social Insurance: Connecting Theory to Data (2012, background): “This implies that part of the increase in UI benets is crowded out by other responses, such as reductions in savings (Engen and Gruber 2001) and changes in spousal labor supply (Cullen and Gruber 2000).”
The Wealth of the Unemployed (2001, background): “12See Gruber (1997) and Cullen and Gruber (2000) for a more detailed description of this simulation program.”
Non-commercial Research and Educational Use including without Limitation Use in Instruction at Your Institution, Sending It to Specific Colleagues That You Know, and Providing a Copy to Your Institution's Administrator. All Other Uses, Reproduction and Distribution, including without Limitation Comm (2005, neutral): “Moreover, such studies have contributed greatly to a better understanding of intermolecular interactions between liquid-crystal solvent and solute.”
Female Labor Supply as Insurance against Idiosyncratic Risk (2005, background): “Finally, Gruber and Cullen (2000) check whether unemployment insurance reduces female labour supply, that is whether public insur- ance substitutes out the potential insurance role of female labour supply that we are investigating.”
Unemployment and consumption near and far away from the Mediterranean (2008, background): “In the other countries, none of these effects is significant, which is consistent with a large literature that has found no strong effects of the husband’s unemployment on the labor supply of the wife ( Cullen and Gruber 2000; an exception is Stephens 2002).”
Knowledge of Future Job Loss and Implications for Unemployment Insurance (2017, background): “(2013); Nekoei and Weber (2015)), or fiscal impacts from changes in precautionary savings behavior (Engen and Gruber (2001)) or spousal labor supply (Cullen and Gruber (2000)).”
Labor Supply Effects of Social Insurance (2002, neutral): “Cullen and Gruber (2000) find that higher unemployment benefits are associated with less work by the wives of unemployed men.”
