Would you expect the natural rate of unemployment to be roughly the same in different countries?
After several years of economic growth, would you expect the unemployment in an economy to be mainly cyclical or mainly due to the natural rate of unemployment? Why?
Reducing unemployment Will cash bonuses speed the return to work of unemployed people? A state department of labor notes that last year 68$\%$ of people who fled claims for unemployment insurance found a new job within 15 weeks. As an experiment, this year the state offers $\$ 500$ to people filing unemployment claims if they find a job within 15 weeks. The percent who do so increases to 77$\% .$ What flaw in the design of this experiment makes it impossible to say whether the bonus really caused the increase? Explain.
