Some information on the session logistics:
If not stated otherwise, the discussant is the following speaker, with the first speaker being the discussant of the last paper. The last speaker of each session is the session chair. (Exception: invited sessions)
Presenters should speak for no more than 20 minutes, and discussants should limit their remarks to no more than 5 minutes. The remaining time should be reserved for audience questions and the presenter’s responses. We suggest following these guidelines also in the (less common) 3-paper sessions in a 2-hour slot, to allow participants to move between sessions. Discussants are encouraged to avoid summarizing the paper. By focusing on a few questions and comments, the discussants can help start a broader discussion with the audience.
Only registered participants can attend this conference. Further information available on the congress website https://www.iseg.ulisboa.pt/en/event/iipf/ .

Unemployment Insurance and Family Labor Supply University of Mannheim, Germany Governments spend heavily on unemployment insurance (UI), yet research on entitlement length focuses almost entirely on the claimant's own job search. This paper asks whether the rest of the family adjusts labor supply when a member gets a longer UI entitlement. The added worker effect shows wives work more when husbands lose jobs, but whether entitlement length shapes this, or extends beyond couples, is unstudied. The net effect is theoretically ambiguous, as this paper's model shows. Using Dutch administrative data, I exploit sharp discontinuities in maximum UI entitlement duration in a regression discontinuity design. Longer entitlement raises actual benefit duration and delays unemployment exits. Spouses and adult children raise employment in response, while parents do not; spouses respond from the start of the spell, children near benefit expiration. Accounting for them raises the MVPF from 0.756 to 0.853. This is the first evidence on UI duration spillovers within couples and across generations.
