Unemployment insurance and worker mobility

After an involuntary job loss, unemployed individuals suffer large and persistent negative impacts on their earnings. The unemployment insurance (UI) program offsets a significant proportion of income losses and helps to facilitate consumption smoothing after these negative shocks. But what effects does UI have on labor market outcomes for recipients?
Recently, researchers have been concerned that worker mobility has been declining as labor markets become less flexible. Diminished mobility can impact wages and job match quality. In “Unemployment insurance and worker mobility” (PDF), Brookings fellow Ryan Nunn, Laura Kawano, and Ben Klemens examine the effects of unemployment insurance on geographic mobility.
