The slides from today’s lecture are available here.
A background paper on the study of labor markets flows are The flow approach to labor markets: New data sources and micro-macro links.
You can read more on the Leibniz rule for differentiation of integrals can be found on Wikipedia.
One of the first papers studying the optimal path of unemployment benefits over time is The optimal payment of unemployment insurance benefits over time by Steven Shavell and Laurence Weiss (1979). You should at least read the introduction. I have written a short note which may help in understanding their argument, it is found here.
A more general paper assessing unemployment policy is: Unemployment insurance: Strenghtening the rrelationship between theory and policy.
Finally, I also recommend three papers that studies what I called the “benefit trap” empirically. These are Moral hazard and sickness insurance, The sick pay trap and Temporary disability insurance and labor suply: Evidence from a natural experiment.
