  • Employment Spells and Unemployment Insurance Eligibility Requirements
    Review of Economics and Statistics, 1998
    Co-Authors: Michael Baker, Samuel A. Rea
    Abstract:

    In this paper we examine whether the Requirements that workers must satisfy to qualify for unemployment insurance (UI) benefits in any succeeding period of joblessness affect the duration of employment spells. This behavioral consequence of a UI system has been neglected in empirical research, which has instead focused on the effects of UI parameters on the actions of the unemployed. The effect is identified by a unique change in the Eligibility Requirements of the Canadian UI system in 1990, which increased the weeks of employment required to establish UI Eligibility. We provide a variety of estimates of this behavioral effect. In our preferred set of results, we find a significant increase in the employment hazard in the week that an individual satisfies the Eligibility Requirement in many regions of the country. In the spirit of Feldstein's (1976) study of temporary layoffs, the results provide new evidence of the impact of UI system parameters on the actions of employers and workers.

This behavioral consequence of a UI system has been neglected in empirical research, which has instead focused on the effects of UI parameters on the actions of the unemployed. The effect is identified by a unique change in the Eligibility Requirements of the Canadian UI system in 1990, which is orthogonal to changes in the economic environment. We find a significant increase in the employment hazard in the week that an individual satisfies the Eligibility Requirement in many regions of the country. In the spirit of Feldstein's (1976) study of temporary layoffs, the results provide new evidence of the impact of UI system parameters on the actions of employers and workers.

  • A survey of home health nursing service and satisfaction at a home health agency in UTMB
    Taehan kanho. The Korean nurse, 1993
    Co-Authors: Kim Ss
    Abstract:

    The purpose of this study was to describe the population of a Medicare/Medicaid home health agency in Galveston, identify their specific needs and assess their satisfaction with the services provided to them. The data obtained will be used to improve home health services in the Galveston agency. 1. What nursing care services are required by home health patients? 2. What needs for other services (e.g. therapy service, homemaker/personal care services, social work services) do home health patients have? 3. What other resources do home health patients currently have to meet their needs? 4. What services do nurses provide during a home health visit? 5. How satisfied are home health patients with services received through the agency? Two types of data were collected for this study. Data relating to patient characteristics, need for services and services provided were obtain by a review of home health records. Data relating to patient satisfaction were obtained by mailing a questionnaire to patients after discharge. Patients still receiving services at the end of the data collection period were sent questionnaires at that time. A convenience sample of all patients receiving care through the agency between January and October of 1991 was used. This was a total of 121 patients. All patients receiving care at this agency meet the Medicare/Medicaid Eligibility Requirement, i.e. they must be homebound and need skilled nursing services, physical therapy or speech therapy on an intermittent basis. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. This predominantly elderly and low-income sample of patients was drawn from an agency serving Medicaid clients, as opposed to an agency serving the home care needs of clients covered by insurance or clients who are self-pay patients. Although chronically ill (often with more than one chronic health problem), these clients seemed to be generally able to care for themselves with only short-term home health assistance. Their most common complaints were sensory loss, decreased mobility and nutritional problem.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)
