Abstract: This paper is concerned with the effect of the unemployment insurance system and of training programs on unemployment outflow rates disaggregated by sex and two unemployment duration categories. The model is based on a matching function and includes a simple representation of the competition between various groups of job-seekers. We develop a classical econometric analysis and a cointegration approach. A positive influence of training programs is found for the short-term unemployed. The replacement ratio has a strong negative effect. Increasing the rate of disqualification for benefit has only a weak positive effect on the outflow rate for short-term unemployment.
