Optimal Welfare-to-Work Programs
TL;DR: In this article, a dynamic principal-agent framework is proposed for analyzing the performance of a welfare-to-work (WTW) program, which is a mix of government expenditures on various labor market policies targeted to the unemployed (e.g., unemployment insurance, job search monitoring, social assistance, wage subsidies).

Risk Sharing in Private Information Models with Asset Accumulation: Explaining the Excess Smoothness of Consumption
