Abstract In this paper, I investigate the effect of extended unemployment insurance (UI) coverage in the United States in recent years on job search. The U.S. government extended UI benefits in several phases in 2008–2009, increasing the duration of the benefits to a maximum of 99 weeks, up from the regular 26 weeks. Using the American Time Use Survey (ATUS) data, I find that women are more sensitive to the extended UI benefits than men. Difference-in-differences estimation shows that the average effect of the UI extensions for women is over a 10 percentage points decline in the probability of job search. However, I do not find any statistically significant effect on men.

The purpose of this article is to determine the income-redistributive effect of lottery programs in western Canada. This requires estimation of both the tax and the expenditure incidence of lottery profits. Previous research has been limited to measuring the tax incidence. The lotteries examined are found to be regressive in collecting public revenue, but considerably less regressive than the U.S. lotteries examined in the literature. In addition, the distribution of benefits resulting from the expenditure of lottery profits mildly favors upper-income groups. Thus lottery programs in western Canada are a regressive form of income redistribution.
