Summary The emergence of guaranteed wage plans in the automobile industry, likely to spread to other fields in the near future, poses the problem of the relationship between such plans and the national Unemployment Insurance system in Canada. This article is an attempt to indicate, by a comparative analysis of Canadian and U.S. Unemployment Insurance systems, to what extent problems associated with U.S. unemployment insurance systems, and the possible integration of these systems with company supplemental unemployment benefit plans, are applicable to Canada.

AbstractThis paper examines the impacts on reservation wages of unemployed persons and on transition in employment due to the reform of the unemployment insurance system in Germany in the course of the Agenda 2010. An dynamic search-model is developed, on which reservation wages are simulated for different groups of unemployed. Afterwards, increases in the transition rates in employment are forecasted due to the reductions in reservation wages. It is shown that the reform of the unemployment transfer payments mainly affect unemployed persons with a high income before unemployment. For these persons the transition rates in employment are increased by 5% to 9% if they are eligible for social welfare. For unemployed persons without eligibility for social welfare the transition rates in employment are increased by 9% to 22%.
