        AB  - Based on a two-country model it is scrutinized how the structure of the unemployment benefit
system affects the consequences of idiosyncratic labor market shocks on real wages and
unemployment in other countries. International spillover effects are caused by changes in
world real income. The paper provides new insights on how changes in world real income
affect labor demand and the wage bargaining process. The analysis of the interaction of
shock spillovers and benefit system focuses on two-tier as well as pure earnings-related and
flat-rate benefit systems.
