Abstract
We have argued in the preceding part that union members who do not find a job will get unemployment benefit. But this begs the question how this unemployment benefit is financed. To focus the arguments in the last section, we have not implemented this financing need into the analysis. What we want to do now is to implement taxation into the analysis to enrich the model. We assume that a government exists that pays the unemployment benefit and has the power to levy taxes to finance its expenditures.
