6. Unemployment insurance in transition and developing countries: moral hazard vs. liquidity constraints in Chile

Author

Sehnbruch, Kirsten, Carranza Navarrete, Rafael, Contreras Guajardo, Dante, Sehnbruch, Kirsten, Carranza Navarrete, Rafael, and Contreras Guajardo, Dante

Abstract

One of the most complex policy issues that developing countries will face as a result of the employment crisis caused by the Covid crisis is the question of how they can better protect the unemployed. However, the analysis of unemployment insurance (UI) in developing economies with large informal sectors is in its infancy, with few papers providing solid empirical evidence. This paper therefore makes several contributions: first, it applies Chetty’s 2008 landmark work on UI to a transition economy (Chile) and shows that the moral hazard effects expected by policy makers, who designed the system are minimal, while liquidity effects were entirely neglected. Second, it demonstrates that it is not enough merely to quantify effects such as moral hazard, but to understand their causes as unemployment generated by moral hazard or liquidity constraints has different welfare implications and should therefore result in different policies. By means of an RDD, this paper analyses the Chilean UI system using a large sample of administrative data, which allows for an extremely precise analysis of how the system works, thus providing invaluable empirical lessons for other countries.

7. They can't or they don't want to? On the decisión of treatment of chronic diseases in Chile

Author

Guzmán-Pinto, Pablo, Contreras-Guajardo, Dante, and Universidad de Chile

Abstract

We provide pioneer evidence about the determinants of treatment of three chronic conditions in Chile. By exploiting a rich dJtabase, we are able to include non-cognitive characteristics as one of the many determinantJ of this decision. We find that sorne people can't and sorne people don't want to go under trJatment. Both descriptive and econometric analysis are consistent in showing that there exi~ts substantial heterogeneity across diseases. The evidence shows that there is little but sigJificant effect of risk aversion and self-control in the decision of treatment of depression a.nd 1iabetes, and no effect for hypertension. Ma.le population with worse self-control levels and more risk-seeking behavior tend to show smaller treatment rates for diabetes. We also find that health insurance is not a relevant dimension for this decision, being this previously documented by empirical literature. Magíster en Economía TERMINADA PFCHA-Becas 39p.
