About the Workshop

Unemployment insurance schemes changed in many countries in the last great recession. Several countries increased the duration of unemployment benefits, reinforced the coaching of unemployed workers, provided more training programs or facilitated short-time work compensation. The aim of this workshop is to analyze these changes with theoretical and empirical contributions. Papers dealing with unemployment insurance over the business cycle, unemployment dynamics and short-time work compensation are particularly welcome.
