Qualifying for Unemployment Insurance : an empirical analysis of Canada / by David A. Green and W. Craig Riddell.LU2-153/203-1995E

In this paper we take advantage of a unique accidental experiment in the Canadian UI system which created an exogenous increase in the entrance requirement (the number of weeks and individual must work to qualify for benefits) of up to four weeks in some regions. We identify the effects of this increase primarily by comparing the hazard rate out of employment for the experimental year, 1990, with that for the preceding year in regions where other parameters of the UI system do not change.--Abstract
