Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to identify the driving forces that influence family Takaful demand in Malaysia. The paper examines various identified and available economics and socio‐demographic variables.Design/methodology/approach – Using ordinary least square (OLS) and generalised method of moments (GMM) techniques, the paper investigates the significance of the identified economic and socio‐demographic factors in determining the consumption of family Takaful. The paper first examines a full model that combines all variables; second, a model that controls for product market factors; and finally, a model that controls for socio‐demographic factors. Following Anderson and Nevin, Haberman, Lenten and Rulli and Josa the paper further separates all models into linear and log‐linear demand functions.Findings – The paper demonstrates that income, Islamic banking development, education, dependency ratio and Muslim population factors are positively related to Takaful demand.

Convergence Without Hard Criteria: Does EU Soft Law Affect Domestic Unemployment Protection Schemes? 没有硬性标准的趋同:欧盟软法是否影响国内失业保护计划?

The European Employment Strategy (EES) aims to promote convergence of domestic labour market policies by soft law instruments. Previous studies on the impact of the EES are mainly focused on active labour market policies. The present study aims at explaining cross national variation in national passive labour market policies and unemployment benefit levels. Building on the most recent measures and pooled time series data, the empirical findings reveal the presence of a convergence process among the most advanced economies regarding passive labour market policy efforts, with the EES fostering this trend even further. Furthermore, our findings support the argument that the EES creates pressure on governments to reform domestic labour market policies, but this pressure varies across countries and over time. The results suggest that the recommendations from the European Council have contributed to unemployment benefit reform processes.
《欧洲就业战略》旨在通过软法律文书促进国内劳动力市场政策的趋同。以前关于经济政策影响的研究主要集中在积极的劳动力市场政策上。本研究旨在解释各国被动劳动力市场政策和失业福利水平的跨国差异。基于最新的测量和汇总的时间序列数据,实证研究结果显示,在被动劳动力市场政策努力方面,最发达经济体之间存在趋同过程,而EES进一步促进了这一趋势。此外,我们的研究结果支持了EES对政府改革国内劳动力市场政策施加压力的论点,但这种压力因国家和时间而异。结果表明,欧洲理事会的建议促进了失业救济改革进程。

Ending Poverty in Mongolia: From Socialism to Green Inclusive Growth? 蒙古消除贫困:从社会主义到绿色包容性增长?

This case study traces the evolution of poverty in Mongolia, a country currently developing a pluralist approach to poverty alleviation. Mongolia is unique because it transformed from nomadic pastoralism to Soviet socialism without a natural industrial development though capital markets. In the 1990s, it was one of few countries to simultaneously undertake market liberalism and multiparty democracy. Collapse of the socialist safety net increased poverty for women and rural areas. Although macroeconomic “shock therapy” reforms in the 1990s stabilized inflation, poverty estimates remained at 36% and called into question poverty alleviation strategies. In the face of severe winters, families attempt sustainable livelihoods though employment income, bartering livestock, informal trading, remittances from overseas relatives, and unlicensed mining. Current national social development strategies affirmed at Rio 20 combine a green economy for inclusive growth and poverty elimination by using redistribution from mining revenues and overseas development assistance.
本案例研究追溯了蒙古贫困的演变,该国目前正在发展一种多元化的减贫办法。蒙古的独特之处在于,它在没有自然的工业发展的情况下,通过资本市场从游牧社会主义转变为苏维埃社会主义。在20世纪90年代,它是少数几个同时实行市场自由主义和多党民主的国家之一。社会主义安全网的崩溃加剧了妇女和农村地区的贫困。尽管20世纪90年代的宏观经济“休克疗法”改革稳定了通货膨胀,但贫困估计仍保持在36%,并使减贫战略受到质疑。面对严冬,家庭试图通过就业收入、易货牲畜、非正式贸易、海外亲戚汇款和无证采矿来维持生计。g20峰会确认的当前国家社会发展战略通过重新分配矿业收入和海外发展援助,将绿色经济与包容性增长和消除贫困结合起来。

The Impact of Unemployment Insurance Extensions on Disability Insurance Application and Allowance Rates 失业保险延长对伤残保险申请和津贴率的影响
Pub Date : 2011-11-07 DOI: 10.2139/SSRN.1956008
Matthew S. Rutledge
Both unemployment insurance (UI) extensions and the availability of disability benefits have disincentive effects on job search. But UI extensions can reduce the efficiency cost of disability benefits if UI recipients delay disability application until they exhaust their unemployment benefits. This paper, the first to focus on the effect of UI extensions on disability applications, investigates whether UI eligibility, extension, and exhaustion affect the timing of disability applications and the composition of the applicant pool. Jobless individuals are significantly less likely to apply to Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) during UI extensions, and significantly more likely to apply when UI is ultimately exhausted. Healthier potential applicants appear more likely to delay, as state allowance rates increase after a new UI extension. Simulations find that a 13-week UI extension decreases SSDI and Medicare costs, offsetting about half of the increase in UI payments; this suggests that the benefits of UI extensions may be understated — permanent disability benefits are diverted to shorter-run unemployment benefits and, potentially, new jobs, while easing the burden on the nearly insolvent SSDI Trust Fund.
失业保险(UI)的延长和残疾福利的可用性都对求职产生抑制作用。但是,如果失业救济金领取者推迟残疾申请,直到他们的失业救济金耗尽,那么失业救济金的延长可以降低残疾救济金的效率成本。本文首先关注UI扩展对残疾申请的影响,调查UI资格、扩展和用尽是否影响残疾申请的时间和申请人池的组成。失业人员在失业保险延长期间申请社会保障残疾保险(SSDI)的可能性明显降低,而在失业保险最终耗尽时申请的可能性明显增加。健康的潜在申请人似乎更有可能推迟,因为在新的失业保险延长后,国家津贴率会增加。模拟发现,13周的失业保险延期减少了SSDI和医疗保险成本,抵消了失业保险支付增加的一半左右;这表明,延长失业救济金的好处可能被低估了——永久性残疾救济金被转移到短期失业救济金上,并可能转移到新工作岗位上,同时减轻了几乎资不抵债的社会保障福利信托基金(SSDI Trust Fund)的负担。

Age Differences in Job Displacement, Job Search, and Reemployment 失业、求职和再就业的年龄差异
Pub Date : 2010-12-30 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.1736644

Working longer is often hailed as the best way to increase retirement incomes, yet this strategy depends crucially on seniors' ability to find work and hold on to their jobs. This study examines how the incidence and consequences of job displacement vary by age. Data come primarily from the 1996, 2001, and 2004 panels of the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP), which follow respondents for up to 48 months. The data span the years 1996 to 2007, covering the 2001 recession but not the 2007-2009 recession. Results show that older workers are less likely than younger workers to lose their jobs, but only because they generally have spent more time with their employers. When older workers lose their jobs, they appear to have more trouble than their younger counterparts finding work. Compared with their counterparts ages 25 to 34, displaced men ages 50 to 61 are 39 percent less likely to become reemployed each month and displaced women ages 50 to 61 are 18 percent less likely. When older displaced workers find jobs, they typically experience sharp wage declines. Among displaced men who become reemployed, for example, the median hourly wage on the new job falls 20 percent below the median wage on the old job at ages 50 to 61, compared with only 2 percent at ages 25 to 34. These findings suggest that some employers are reluctant to hire older workers, and raise questions about the employability of older adults.
延长工作时间通常被认为是增加退休收入的最佳方式,但这一策略关键取决于老年人找到工作并保住工作的能力。本研究考察了失业的发生率和后果如何随年龄而变化。数据主要来自1996年、2001年和2004年的收入和计划参与调查(SIPP)小组,这些小组对受访者进行了长达48个月的跟踪调查。这些数据涵盖了1996年至2007年的经济衰退,但不包括2007年至2009年的经济衰退。结果显示,与年轻员工相比,年长员工失业的可能性更小,但这只是因为他们通常与雇主呆在一起的时间更长。当年长的员工失去工作时,他们似乎比年轻的员工找工作更困难。与年龄在25岁至34岁之间的人相比,50岁至61岁的流离失所男性每月再就业的可能性低39%,50岁至61岁的流离失所女性每月再就业的可能性低18%。当年长的失业工人找到工作时,他们的工资通常会大幅下降。例如,在重新就业的失业男性中,在50岁至61岁之间,新工作的时薪中位数比旧工作的时薪中位数低20%,而在25岁至34岁之间,这一比例仅为2%。这些发现表明,一些雇主不愿意雇用年长的员工,并对老年人的就业能力提出了质疑。

The Effect of the UI Wage Replacement Rate On Reemployment Wages: A Dynamic Discrete Time Hazard Model with Unobserved Heterogeneity 失业人员工资替代率对再就业工资的影响:一个具有未观察异质性的动态离散时间风险模型

This study estimates the effect of the UI (Unemployment Insurance) wage replacement rate on reemployment wages using the sample of men in the 1996 and 2001 Surveys of Income and Program Participation. It models employment search behavior in a dynamic discrete time hazard setting with three possible outcomes: finding a full-time job, finding a part-time job, or staying unemployed (continuing the job search). It finds that reemployment wages, particularly part-time wages, decrease with the UI wage replacement rate. Furthermore, the wage replacement rate depresses the prospect of finding full-time work while increasing the prospect of finding part-time work.
本研究利用1996年和2001年收入和计划参与调查中的男性样本,估计了失业保险工资替代率对再就业工资的影响。它在一个动态的离散时间风险设置中模拟了求职行为,有三种可能的结果:找到一份全职工作,找到一份兼职工作,或者失业(继续找工作)。研究发现,再就业工资,尤其是兼职工资,随着失业工资替代率的下降而下降。此外,工资替代率降低了找到全职工作的前景,而增加了找到兼职工作的前景。

Benefit Duration, Unemployment Duration and Job Match Quality: A Regression-Discontinuity Approach 福利持续时间、失业持续时间与工作匹配质量:一个回归-不连续方法
Pub Date : 2009-12-01 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.1594787

The generosity of the Unemployment Insurance system (UI) plays a central role for the job search behavior of unemployed individuals. Standard search theory predicts that an increase in UI benefit generosity, either in terms of benefit duration or entitlement, has a negative impact on the job search activities of the unemployed increasing their unemployment duration. Despite the disincentive effect of UI on unemployment duration, UI benefit generosity may also increase job match quality by allowing individuals to wait for better job offers. In this paper we use a sharp discontinuity in the maximum duration of unemployment benefits in Germany, which increases from 12 months to 18 months at the age of 45, to identify the effect of extended benefit duration on unemployment duration and post-unemployment outcomes. We find a spike in the re-employment hazard for the unemployed workers with 12 months benefit duration, which occurs around benefit exhaustion. This leads to lower unemployment duration compared to their counterparts with 18 months benefit duration. However, we also show that those unemployed who obtain jobs close to and after the time when benefits are exhausted are significantly more likely to exit subsequent employment and receive lower wages compared to their counterparts with extended benefit duration.
失业保险制度的慷慨性对失业人员的求职行为起着核心作用。标准搜索理论预测,失业救济金慷慨度的增加,无论是在福利持续时间还是权利方面,都会对失业者的求职活动产生负面影响,从而延长他们的失业持续时间。尽管失业保险对失业持续时间有抑制作用,但失业保险福利慷慨也可以通过允许个人等待更好的工作机会来提高工作匹配质量。在本文中,我们使用德国失业救济金最长持续时间的急剧间断,在45岁时从12个月增加到18个月,以确定延长福利持续时间对失业持续时间和失业后结果的影响。我们发现,在福利期限为12个月的失业人员中,再就业风险峰值出现在福利耗尽前后。这导致失业持续时间比18个月的救济金持续时间短。然而,我们也表明,与那些福利期限延长的失业者相比,那些在接近或之后找到工作的失业者更有可能退出后续工作,并获得更低的工资。

Culturally-Based Beliefs and Labour Market Institutions 基于文化的信仰和劳动力市场制度
Pub Date : 2009-11-17 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.1507682
Fabio D’Orlando, F. Ferrante, Gabriele Ruiu
This paper has two main goals. The first is to provide empirical evidence that differences in labour market institutions across countries and, specifically, in how they provide protection to workers, can be attributed to underlying differences in culturally-based prior beliefs: in particular, people’s fatalism and trust in others. The second goal is to single out the socio-economic factors associated with these beliefs and the role of education in this regard.
本文有两个主要目标。首先是提供经验证据,证明各国劳动力市场制度的差异,特别是它们如何为工人提供保护的差异,可归因于基于文化的先前信仰的潜在差异:特别是人们的宿命论和对他人的信任。第二个目标是挑出与这些信念有关的社会经济因素以及教育在这方面的作用。

Optimal Use of Labour Market Policies 最佳使用劳动力市场政策

Labour market policies for the unemployed combine passive income support with active measures that aim at improving jobseekers' employment prospects. This paper extends the theoretical framework developed by Pavoni and Violante (2005a) for the optimal choice between different active and passive policies for the unemployed to a setting which allows for the use of a job search assistance programme that affects the exit rate to employment by raising search effectiveness but not productivity in the job. These programmes are one of the most widely used activation measures in OECD countries and should, therefore, be taken into account when considering the optimal design of labour market policies. The enriched model allows to answer a wide range of interesting policy questions. It is used to assess the optimality of the West German policy in the period 2000-2002 as well as the benefits from introducing tight monitoring. It is shown that sizeable budget savings could have been realised by switching to the optimal scheme, but that the net gains from monitoring are only small. In addition, some interesting results on the optimal use of job search assistance and training are derived. It is shown that existing policies already share some but not all features of the optimal scheme.
针对失业者的劳动力市场政策将被动收入支助与旨在改善求职者就业前景的积极措施结合起来。本文将Pavoni和Violante (2005a)开发的理论框架扩展为失业人员不同主动和被动政策之间的最佳选择,该框架允许使用求职援助计划,该计划通过提高求职效率而不是工作生产率来影响就业退出率。这些方案是经合发组织国家中使用最广泛的激活措施之一,因此在考虑最佳设计劳工市场政策时应考虑到这些方案。丰富的模型可以回答一系列有趣的政策问题。它被用来评估2000-2002年期间西德政策的最优性以及引入严格监控的好处。结果表明,如果改用最优方案,可以节省大量预算,但监测的净收益却很小。此外,在最佳利用求职援助和培训方面得出了一些有趣的结果。结果表明,现有策略具有最优方案的部分特征,但不是全部特征。
