摘要：

This paper examines the characteristics of the unemployment insurance when the human capital decreases throughout the unemployment spell. We consider three instruments of economic policy: the replacement ratio, the duration of UI benefits and the level of minimum benefits. We show that the optimal UI is characterized by (i) a high replacement ratio, (ii) a short duration of UI benefits and (iii) low duration benefits. However, the politico-economic equilibrium leads to increase the duration of benefits.
