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.

Job Loss and the Role of Public Policies 1: VATT; 2: Tilburg University; 3: IECON-UDELAR & IZA; 4: IECON-UDELAR Job displacement generates large and persistent income losses. This paper examines how different public policy designs mitigate the consequences of job loss in Uruguay. Using matched employer-employee records, we combine difference in differences and RDD designs to estimate both the effects of job displacement and the insurance value of two policies: (i) a traditional contributory unemployment insurance program and (ii) a non-contributory conditional cash transfer program that is widely available to poor households. First, we document sharp earnings declines following displacement and incomplete recovery even five years later. We then compare the insurance value of alternative policies. We show that access to the non contributory cash transfer program provides an effective alternative to UI for vulnerable and middle income workers facing layoffs. In particular, access to the cash transfer is associated with faster earnings recovery and improved medium run labor market outcomes.
