Abstract: How do workers flow across the unemployment, employment, and non-participation over the life-cycle? Any policy which effects the margin of one state effects flows into a different state. For example, unemployment benefits will affect workers labor market supply decision as well at the employment choices. In this paper, I develop an equilibrium search and matching model over the life-cycle to characterize labor market flows. I model two major social insurance programs: unemployment insurance (UI) and Social Security Disability Insurance (DI) to account for their interaction on worker labor supply decision. My model incorporates incomplete markets, aggregate productivity shocks, and idiosyncratic heterogeneity. I put special attention to modeling DI and its effect on labor force participation.
