Shorey, John
- Abstract
The article discusses the consequences of job search requirements with regards to unemployment benefits in the United Kingdom. It investigates the interrelationships between joblessness, job search, employment and search requirement benefits using standard ideas from search theory treatments of labour market processes. It outlines the recent changes in the administration of unemployment benefits. It offers a model of the aggregate labour market operating under imperfect information but incorporating two very different adjustment process, such as the Flexible Wage Search (FWS) Model and the Rigid Wage Search (RWS) Model. It considers the unemployment statistics, the impact of changing benefit levels, and the consequences of greater search conditionality on benefit payments in the U.K.
