Forthcoming in the AER: "The Costs of Job Displacement over the Business Cycle and Its Sources: Evidence from Germany" by Johannes F. Schmieder, Till von Wachter, and Jörg Heining. aeaweb.org/articles?id=10…

Why is job-loss so costly? When workers climb a job ladder with slippery bottom rungs, then job loss begets job loss. This generates an unemployment scar. econometricsociety.org/publications/e…

Long-term unemployment risk is highly predictable with rich data on employment and benefit histories, implying an important role for dynamic selection over the unemployment spell, from Andreas I. Mueller and Johannes Spinnewijn nber.org/papers/w30979

Despite the spotlight on unemployment insurance in 2020, application rates have fallen sharply.

A study on the potential depreciation of workers' skills during unemployment finds no evidence that any of the measured skills decline, from Jonathan Cohen Andrew C. Johnston and Attila Lindner nber.org/papers/w31120

Workers earning about $15 per hour experience long-lasting dips in earnings after job loss, driven by reduced weeks and hours, from Evan Rose and Yotam ShemTov nber.org/papers/w31447

The consequences of losing a job vary widely across Europe, say researchers at NHH Norwegian School of Economics, UC3M, Banco de España, Department of Economics, University of Mannheim, VATT, and UBC Economics. Their findings may help uncover what makes some labor markets work better than others. #Chart aeaweb.org/research/chart…

Matt has it right. During expansions, low-wage firms lose workers (on net), as they are poached by higher-quality firms. During Recessions, people fall into lower-quality firms (and get stuck there). aeaweb.org/articles?id=10…

Forthcoming in the AER: "Local Economic and Political Effects of Trade Deals: Evidence from NAFTA" by Jiwon Choi, Ilyana Kuziemko, Ebonya Washington, and Gavin Wright. aeaweb.org/articles?id=10…

Honored to be supported by the WCEG Early Career Award for my work on unemployment insurance receipt, an agenda I’m working on with my talented co-author Casey McQuillan. Excited to engage with the many great scholars at WCEG and contribute to the important conversations!

Last week, I had the chance to present new work with Brendan Moore at Stanford Economics during the SITE conference organized around “The Labor Market Experience of Vulnerable Populations of Workers”

.Stanford University's Brendan Moore will examine barriers to accessing Unemployment Insurance. He will look at underlying causes of incomplete UI take-up and barriers disproportionately targeting low-income and marginalized workers. Learn more 👉 equitablegrowth.org/grants/causes-… #EGgrantee /9

With all of the attention on industrial policy, tariffs, and tax credits to boost manufacturing lately, it's interesting to note the sector's share of employment hasn't budged from its 8% number in 15 years, across three presidential administrations.

We often talk about industrial policy as a means of helping “left behind workers,” but does that really make sense as a policy approach, and when does it work in practice? I wrote up this piece to synthesize what we’ve learned from recent work, including my own.

Pope Leo XIV explains his choice of name: "... I chose to take the name Leo XIV. There are different reasons for this, but mainly because Pope Leo XIII in his historic Encyclical Rerum Novarum addressed the social question in the context of the first great industrial revolution.

In new work with Casey McQuillan we find unemployment benefit receipt for low-income workers improves subsequent job quality without meaningfully delaying re-employment. Casey’s thread has more exciting results!

Great to see this new research by Brendan Moore — a SIEPR graduate fellowship recipient who is studying the effects of unemployment insurance.
