A Contribution to the Empirics of Reservation Wages (2016, unknown): “The welfare gain for a $1 increase in b is measured in consumption for all future dates, as on p. 1162 in Shimer and Werning (2007).”
Consumer Spending during Unemployment: Positive and Normative Implications (2019, unknown): “Researchers have raised concerns that the measured drop in food expenditure might overstate the drop in nondurable consumption due to home production (Shimer and Werning 2007) or fail to capture a larger drop in unmeasured consumption categories (Chetty and Szeidl 2007).”
Social Insurance: Connecting Theory to Data (2012, background): “For example, Starc (2011) discusses how, when rms have market power, moving from symmetric information to asymmetric information can improve consumer welfare.”
Cash-on-Hand and Competing Models of Intertemporal Behavior: New Evidence from the Labor Market (2007, unknown): “Section IX concludes.”
Labor Market Effects of Unemployment Insurance Design (2014, unknown): “Contrary to the studies by Gruber (1997) and Shimer and Werning (2007), the optimal level of beneﬁt does not necessarily fall with the elasticity of UI-compensated duration with respect to UI beneﬁt level.”
Should Unemployment Insurance Vary with the Unemployment Rate? Theory and Evidence (2016, unknown): “Our contribution relative to these papers is to consider a more general dynamic search model with stochastic wage offers, as in Shimer and Werning (2007) and Chetty (2008).”
Does Extending Unemployment Benefits Improve Job Quality? (2017, background): “27As discussed in footnote 33, this is a good approximation for realistic values of the discount rate (Shimer and Werning (2007)).”
Knowledge of Future Job Loss and Implications for Unemployment Insurance (2017, unknown): “57The results are consistent with the findings of small ex-ante responses of spousal labor supply to subsequent unemployment in Stephens Jr (2002). The overall pattern is also consistent with the finding of Gruber and Cullen (1996) that higher levels of social insurance reduce the response of spouse”
