When the reported number of weeks of UI recipiency is used during a particular nonemployment spell, the second column also shows a significantly positive point estimate for this coefficient. |
One of the most salient features of the economic crisis in Sweden during the 1990s was the dramatic increase in long-term social assistance recipiency. |
Care is taken in the analysis to examine spell durations corresponding to the nature of these data on UI recipiency. |
For characteristics such as employment status or income recipiency, errors can be due to omissions or to misplacing events in time. |
We have conducted the same analysis as above for recipiency durations. |
Both results imply that UI recipiency in these data tends to raise the probability that a non-employment spell will end, controlling for the other factors detailed in the table. |
