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.

Extended Unemployment Insurance and the Allocation of Layoffs Within Firms VATT Institute for Economic Research, Finland Many countries extend unemployment insurance (UI) entitlements for older workers. While such extensions increase separations and prolong unemployment among eligible individuals, little is known about their effects on coworkers within firms. I study whether extended UI reshapes the allocation of separations across age groups using cohort-based reforms to the Finnish UI extension program. Exploiting reform-induced variation in eligibility across firms with different age structures, I show that a higher share of eligible coworkers reduces layoffs among younger employees, particularly during demand shocks. Quantitatively, the reduction in layoffs among younger workers nearly offsets the increase among eligible older workers. Extended UI also reshapes the allocation of furloughs and job-to-job transitions across age groups within firms. These results highlight the importance of within-firm spillovers for understanding the incidence of social insurance policies.
