Abstract

Le document réévalue les gains en bien-être de l'assurance chômage lorsque les agents économiques peuvent s'auto-assurer au moyen d'une épargne privée, mais qu'ils font face à des fluctuations économiques agrégées. Les auteurs concluent que les études précédentes ont sous-estimé de moitié les gains moyens de l'assurance chômage, en ignorant l'incertitude occasionnée par la fluctuation des prix et l'emploi suite aux variations du choc agrégé. Mais paradoxalement, les plus pauvres sont moins en faveur d'une assurance chômage quand les fluctuations agrégées sont prises en compte. Le résultat s'explique par les effets favorables de la variation des prix qui dominent l'accroissement du risque d'être au chômage.
