Abstract

This paper analyzes the performance of unemployment benefit systems in a search theoretic framework. The criteria of evaluation comprise the alleviation of poverty and the reduction in income inequality, while the diversity of opinions about these is taken in account. Also, the trade-off between the attainment of social objectives and work incentives is examined. Copyright 1997 by Royal Economic Society.
