題名: | Employment Effects of the Unemployment Insurance Tax Base | 作者: | 黃柏鈞 Huang, Po-Chun |
貢獻者: | 經濟系 | 日期: | Dec-2019 | 上傳時間: | 1-Jun-2021 | 摘要: | This paper investigates whether and to what extent the low unemployment insurance (UI) tax base in the United States creates disincentives to hire low-wage workers. Using data from the Current Population Survey and state variation in the UI tax base over 30 years, I estimate that a 10 percent nominal increase in the tax base raises the teenage employment rate by 1.4 percent, and indexing the tax base increases the teenage employment rate by 6 percent. These results offer evidence that the erosion of the UI tax base has reduced the employment of low-wage workers. | 關聯: | Asian and Australasian Society of Labour Economics 2019 Conference, National University of Singapore | 資料類型: | conference |
