Book Description
In the second part of the 1990's Switzerland conducted an ambitious active labor market policy (ALMP) encompassing a wide variety of programs. We evaluate the effects of these programs on the individual employment probability of potential participants. Our econometric analysis uses unusually informative data originating from administrative unemployment and social security records. We apply a matching estimator adapted for the case of multiple programs. We find substantial positive effects for one particular program that is a unique feature of the Swiss ALMP. It consists of a wage subsidy for temporary jobs in the regular labor market that would otherwise not be taken up by the unemployed. We also find large negative effects for traditional employment programs operated in sheltered labor markets. For training courses the results are mixed.

Book Description
Many European countries entertain considerable active labour market policies (ALMP) to increase the reemployment chances of the unemployed. Since policies are very costly the pressure for scientific evaluations of the single programmes that are part of the ALMP increases. This paper surveys recent developments in the methodology of microeconometric evaluation that emphasises the issue of nonparametric identification of causal effects as a pre-requisite for reliable estimation and policy conclusions. The paper concludes with some brief remarks about recent empirical evaluations of the Swiss ALMP.

Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 364257615X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
Empirical measurement of impacts of active labour market programmes has started to become a central task of economic researchers. New improved econometric methods have been developed that will probably influence future empirical work in various other fields of economics as well. This volume contains a selection of original papers from leading experts, among them James J. Heckman, Noble Prize Winner 2000 in economics, addressing these econometric issues at the theoretical and empirical level. The theoretical part contains papers on tight bounds of average treatment effects, instrumental variables estimators, impact measurement with multiple programme options and statistical profiling. The empirical part provides the reader with econometric evaluations of active labour market programmes in Canada, Germany, France, Italy, Slovak Republic and Sweden.
