3 Introduction Content of paper Treatment of unempoyment benets in DSGE models Unemployment benets are replacement income Neo-classical economics: Complete markets: unemployment is insured away Raise alternative value to work Raise wage demands Reduce employment, output and growth lower benets are positive supply shock

5 Heterogeneous agent economics: Potentially only source of income Some optimal level of UB exists Relevant for policy: labour market reforms in crisis times
6 Literature review Representative agent general equilibrium model Limited impact on agent's utility UB to adjust to Hoisos condition (Moyen and Stähler, 2010) Microeconomic theory: Baily (1978) - Chetty (2006) formula Tradeo between consumption smoothing and job search incentive Heterogeneous agents in general equilibrium Labour demand eect important Pro-cyclical benets (Krusell et al., 2010; Mitman and Rabinovich, 2015) Inecient tightness: UB depends (Landais et al., 2015) Portfolio choice and volatility: larger optimal benets (Den Haan et al., 2015)

9 Solving heterogeneous household models Problem: very large number of state variables Approximative numerical solution (Krusell and Smith, 1998) This paper uses Challe et al. (2015) One large employed family sharing assets Agent loosing job takes assets and consumes these When out of assets only unemployment benets Upon job nding full member of employed family > Limited number of states

11 Contribution of the paper 1 Investigate unemployment benet reduction in standard New Keynesian model with heterogeneous households 2 Derive Nash wage bargaining equilibrium 3 With and without lower interest rate bound
12 Model features Standard New Keynesian model elements Cobb-Douglas production function with capital and labour Quadratic investment adjustment cost Calvo (1983) price stickiness Taylor rule, potentially lower bound Closed economy Search and matching labour market Fixed separation rate, vacancy posting cost, matching function No leisure, only extensive margin Unemployment benets as replacement wage Nash bargaining for wages by union weighing value functions by all workers Real wage rigidity Heterogeneous households following Challe et al. (2015)

(2015)
14 Heterogeneous households Capital owners invest, hold asset counterposition for workers All employed workers in one family sharing assets Upon job loss worker takes his share in assets into unemployment Borrowing constraint: unemployed only have assets and benets Precautionary savings Consume assets quickly: could nd a job again MU(C eu ) = βr[νmu(c e ) + (1 ν)mu(c u )] Upon job nd immediately full member of employed family Only 3 states Employed Unemployed, consuming assets Unemployed without assets
15 Heterogeneous households Capital owners invest, hold asset counterposition for workers All employed workers in one family sharing assets Upon job loss worker takes his share in assets into unemployment Borrowing constraint: unemployed only have assets and benets Precautionary savings Consume assets quickly: could nd a job again MU(C eu ) = βr[νmu(c e ) + (1 ν)mu(c u )] Upon job nd immediately full member of employed family Only 3 states Employed Unemployed, consuming assets Unemployed without assets

17 Model key element Intertemporal saving decision by workers (λ marginal utility of consumption) λ e,t+1 = 1 1 ( ) (1) λ e,t β w r t λeu,t s t+1 λ e,t+1 1 Key mechanism Rise in probability to loose job (s) and fall in replacement wage (meaning lower C eu ) raise saving
18 Experiment Lower unemployment benets > wage falls Model with and without complete markets Lower interest bound (occbin toolkit by Guerrieri and Iacoviello, 2015) let interest rate fall by 0.4 pp
19 Deviation (in percentage points) Deviation (in percentage points) No lower bound Years Years Output Investment Employment Worker Consumpt. Output Investment Employment Worker_consumpt (a) Complete markets (b) Incomplete markets
20 Deviation (in percentage points) Deviation (in percentage points) Lower interest bound Years Output Employment Years Output Employment Investment Worker consumpt Investment Worker_consumpt (a) Complete markets (b) Incomplete markets
21 Conclusion Unemployment benets are important source of income Model should take this into account, abstracting from complete markets Eect of unemployment benet cut dramatically dierent
22 Future work Any type of labour market policy change aects precautionary saving Time-varying borrowing constraint Asset price variable Imperfect markets changes wage-employment adjustment balance in bargaining framework
