Impact of unemployment insurance benefits on local economies - Tucson. Unemployment insurance occasional paper (final)

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5866288

An econometric model of the Tucson Arizona SMSA was used to simulate the effects of Unemployment Insurance (UI) benefit payments on a local economy. The period covered in this study was 1975-76. The impact of UI was estimated by comparing predictions of selected measures of local economic activities when UI benefits were set equal to their historical values, with predictions made with UI benefits set equal to zero. Economic measures include local sales, employment, unemployment, unemployment rate, sales tax revenues, population, and disposable personal income.
