Evaluation der Arbeitsmarktpolitik
Arbeitsmarktpolitik soll neben der Wirtschafts- und Strukturpolitik sowie der Arbeitszeit- und Lohnpolitik einen Beitrag zur Bewältigung der Arbeitslosigkeit leisten. Aber ist sie dabei auch erfolgreich und stehen die eingebrachten Mittel in einem angemessenen Verhältnis zu den erzielten Wirkungen? Die Evaluationsforschung geht der Frage nach den Beschäftigungseffekten und den sozialpolitischen Wirkungen auf individueller und gesamtwirtschaftlicher Ebene nach. Das Dossier bietet weiterführende Informationen zu Evaluationsmethoden und den Wirkungen von einzelnen Maßnahmen für verschiedene Zielgruppen.

Re‐Skilling in the Age of Skill Shortage: Adult Education Rather Than Active Labor Market Policy (2025)

Bonoli, Giuliano, Patrick Emmenegger & Alina Felder-Stindt (2025): Re‐Skilling in the Age of Skill Shortage: Adult Education Rather Than Active Labor Market Policy. In: Regulation and governance, S. 1-13. DOI:10.1111/rego.70065
Abstract
"European economies face the task of providing the necessary skills for the “twin transition ” in a period of skill shortage. As a result, we may expect countries to reorient their labor market policy towards re-skilling. We look for evidence of a reorientation in two relevant policy fields: active labor market policy (ALMP) and adult education (AE). We explore general trends in both fields based on quantitative indicators and compare recent policy developments in four countries with strong ALMP and AE sectors: Denmark, France, Germany, and Sweden. We do not observe clear evidence of a general movement away from activation and towards re-skilling in ALMP. However, in AE, we identify several re-skilling initiatives that address skill shortages. Relying on insights from queuing theories of hiring and training, we argue that due to changes in the population targeted by ALMP, the locus of re-skilling policy is increasingly moving towards AE."

Does Job Search Assistance Reduce Unemployment?: Evidence on Displacement Effects and Mechanisms (2025)

Cheung, Maria, Johan Egebark, Anders Forslund, Lisa Laun, Magnus Rödin & Johan Vikström (2025): Does Job Search Assistance Reduce Unemployment? Evidence on Displacement Effects and Mechanisms. In: Journal of labor economics, Jg. 43, H. 1, S. 47-81. DOI:10.1086/726384
Abstract
"Using a two-level randomized experiment we find that job search assistance (JSA) reduces unemployment among the treated, but also creates displacement effects. Analyses of mechanisms show that vacancy referrals from caseworkers to job seekers explain the positive effects for the treated by helping the job seekers apply to the most relevant jobs earlier. We also find that the overall assessment of JSA hinges on how the displacement effects hit the labor market and to what extent firms react by opening new vacancies. The displacement is larger in weak labor markets and wefind no displacement of resources." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

"I feel good here": A qualitative study on subsidised employment in a Swedish municipal labour market programme (2025)
Zitatform
Parsland, Ellen & Gabriella Scaramuzzino (2025): "I feel good here". A qualitative study on subsidised employment in a Swedish municipal labour market programme. In: Journal of Comparative Social Work, Jg. 19, H. 2, S. 38-62. DOI:10.31265/jcsw.v19i2.657
Abstract
"The aim of this article is to understand how a group of subsidized employees constructed a collective identity and symbolic community, and the role the municipal labor market programme played in that process. Further, it explores whether and how a shared collective identity and symbolic community may provide an explanation for how the ‘successful intervention/lock-in effect paradox’ occurs when using subsidized employment as an activation intervention. The article is based on a qualitative interview study with eight social workers and 11 subsidized employees from a Swedish municipal labour market program that offered subsidised employment as its main intervention. The interviews were analysed using the concepts of social identity and symbolic community. The article shows that subsidized employment plays a crucial role in subsidised employees constructing their identity as ‘persons with a job’, as distinct from the activation interventions usually associated with social assistance. The labor market programme serves as a transformative space where receiving a salary becomes a symbol of distinction, marking a significant departure from past experiences of receiving social assistance. The article also highlights the role of social workers in subsidised employees’ identity processes. The social workers perceived the subsidised employees as participants with special needs, and subsidiszd employment as an intervention which could influence the planning and support provided during the subsidized employment. The collective identity developed by the participants fostered a sense of community, but also led to reluctance to leave the program, driven by the fear of reverting to social assistance, and once again being excluded from the labor market. The article concludes that the subsidized employees risked getting stuck in a borderland between work exclusion and work inclusion and, therefore, that subsidised employment can potentially place participants in a state of ‘marginalised inclusion’ in the labor market, instead of supporting participants into regular employment."

Deemed as ‘Distant’: Categorizing Unemployment in Sweden’s Evolving Welfare Landscape (2025)

Östling, Maja (2025): Deemed as ‘Distant’: Categorizing Unemployment in Sweden’s Evolving Welfare Landscape. In: Social Sciences, Jg. 14, H. 3. DOI:10.3390/socsci14030129
Abstract
"Over the past 30 years, Swedish labor market politics has swayed towards stronger workfare tendencies, emphasizing activation requirements for unemployed individuals to access welfare benefits. This process aligns with broader neoliberal reforms, fostering an individualistic view of unemployment characterized by personal responsibility for employability. In 2023, the Swedish Public Employment Service (PES) published a report addressing the needs of and solutions for long-term unemployed individuals ‘distant from the labor market’ (Sw. personer långt från arbetsmarknaden), marking the first formal use of this term as the main adhesive category in a political document. This paper examines the construction of the subject position ‘distant from the labor market’, investigating how it delineates and differentiates subgroups within the unemployed population, how this subgroup is understood in relation to other actors, and how discursive frameworks imbue this category with various meanings. Lastly, the paper discusses the categorization in relation to the current developments in the Swedish welfare system, arguing that the formalization of this category should be understood in relation to parallel political processes, such as proposals for a duty of activity for the unemployed, suggesting how this points to a way forward defined by neoliberal tendencies and welfare conditionality."

A journey into the new employment service landscape of responsibilisation: Towards de-personalisation of the caseworker–jobseeker relationship (2024)

Bengtsson, Mattias, Kerstin Jacobsson & Ylva Wallinder (2024): A journey into the new employment service landscape of responsibilisation: Towards de-personalisation of the caseworker–jobseeker relationship. In: International Journal of Social Welfare, Jg. 33, H. 1, S. 137-150. DOI:10.1111/ijsw.12584
Abstract
"The article analyses a new culture of responsibilisation implicated in a recent management reform in the Swedish Public Employment Service. Based on an interview study and organisational documents, it is shown that the reform entails a new form of responsibilisation of jobseekers as well as caseworkers. As jobseekers are expected to ‘carry their own case’ through the administrative job-search process, they are obliged to manage tasks that used to be in the caseworker's area of responsibility. Furthermore, caseworkers are expected to regulate themselves in new ways and change their mind-set according to new organisational values and behavioural norms, requiring a restraining of their availability to clients. It is argued that the employment agency is increasingly turned into the agency of the active and responsible jobseeker, which entails one further shift towards individual responsibility in Swedish labour market policy and one further step towards the breakup of a personal caseworker–jobseeker relationship."

Effects of parental job loss on psychotropic drug use in children: Long-term effects, timing, and cumulative exposure (2024)
Zitatform
Högberg, Björn & Anna Baranowska-Rataj (2024): Effects of parental job loss on psychotropic drug use in children: Long-term effects, timing, and cumulative exposure. In: Advances in life course research, Jg. 60. DOI:10.1016/j.alcr.2024.100607
Abstract
"Intra-family crossover effects triggered by job losses have received growing attention across scientific disciplines, but existing research has reached discrepant conclusions concerning if, and if so how, parental job losses affect child mental health. Drawing on sociological models of stress and life course epidemiology, we ask if parental job losses have long-term effects on child mental health, and if these effects are conditional on the timing of, or the cumulative exposure to, job losses. We use intergenerationally linked Swedish register data combined with entropy balance and structural nested mean models for the analyses. The data allow us to track 400,000 children over 14 years and thereby test different life-course models of cross-over effects. We identify involuntary job losses using information on workplace closures, thus reducing the risk of confounding. Results show that paternal but not maternal job loss significantly increases the risk of psychotropic drug use among children, that the average effects are modest in size (less than 4% in relative terms), that they may persist for up to five years, and that they are driven by children aged 6–10 years. Moreover, cumulative exposure to multiple job losses are more harmful than zero or one job loss." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku, © 2024 Elsevier) ((en))

(Social protection & jobs : discussion paper / World Bank Group, Social Protection & Jobs 2408), Washington, DC, 90 S.
Abstract
"Across European Union (EU) countries, the institutional design of Minimum Income (MI) programs varies widely in terms of the benefits and services provided to recipients, despite significant convergence toward a similar MI model and shared common approaches. This discussion paper investigates the delivery of social inclusion pathways, i.e., non-monetary support components to foster MI recipients' social inclusion and highlights common challenges and good practices across eight EU case study countries (Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Spain, and Sweden). The paper shows that while some countries prioritize labor activation for workforce reintegration of MI recipients, others aim for broader social inclusion, recognizing the challenges in integrating such recipients into the labor market due to their complex needs. Moreover, the paper examines how the social inclusion pathway and case management interventions in MI programs affect recipient's welfare within poverty-targeted programs. It notes the lack of evidence on the effectiveness and impact of social inclusion pathways within MIs and mentions ongoing evaluations in Spain, Italy, and France to address this gap."

Abstract
"This article highlights the limitations of unidimensional analyses in the comparative welfare state literature and emphasises the need for a more holistic, multidimensional approach incorporating social spending, welfare state outputs and outcomes. To illustrate the utility of a multidimensional approach, we examine the long‐term welfare state trajectories of Sweden and Germany, prototypical social‐democratic and conservative welfare states, respectively, and compare them against the baseline of Europe's prototypical liberal welfare state, the United Kingdom. The social spending (expenditure) and output (generosity) allowed us to identify significant changes in the Swedish welfare state (i.e., retrenchment). The outcome dimension alerts us to a policy drift in the German Welfare State, as relatively stable public spending and welfare generosity until the first half of the 2000s were nonetheless associated with sharply increased inequality and poverty. Overall, our findings suggest that a holistic, multidimensional approach is necessary to fully understand the complexities of welfare state change and continuity, as focusing solely on one dimension can lead to analytical misjudgments. The sharp rise in inequality and poverty across countries raises doubts about whether policymakers and researchers rely too much on outdated assumptions of normality that fail to meet the welfare state realities of today."

Long‐Run Effects of Dynamically Assigned Treatments: A New Methodology and an Evaluation of Training Effects on Earnings (2022)

Berg, Gerard J. van den & Johan Vikström (2022): Long‐Run Effects of Dynamically Assigned Treatments: A New Methodology and an Evaluation of Training Effects on Earnings. In: Econometrica, Jg. 90, H. 3, S. 1337-1354. DOI:10.3982/ecta17522
Abstract
"We propose and implement a new method to estimate treatment effects in settings where individuals need to be in a certain state (e.g., unemployment) to be eligible for a treatment, treatments may commence at different points in time, and the outcome of interest is realized after the individual left the initial state. An example concerns the effect of training on earnings in subsequent employment. Any evaluation needs to take into account that some of those who are not trained at a certain time in unemployment will leave unemployment before training while others will be trained later. We are interested in effects of the treatment at a certain elapsed duration compared to “no treatment at any subsequent duration.” We prove identification under unconfoundedness and propose inverse probability weighting estimators. A key feature is that weights given to outcome observations of nontreated depend on the remaining time in the initial state. We study effects of a training program for unemployed workers in Sweden. Estimates are positive and sizeable, exceeding those obtained with common static methods. This calls for a reappraisal of training as a tool to bring unemployed back to work."

Abstract
"We document the consequences of losing a job across countries using a harmonized research design. Workers in Denmark and Sweden experience the lowest earnings declines following job displacement, while workers in Italy, Spain, and Portugal experience losses three times as high. French and Austrian workers face earnings losses somewhere in-between. Key to these differences is that Southern European workers are less likely to find employment following displacement. Loss of employer-specific wage premiums accounts for 40% to 95% of within-country wage declines. The use of active labor market policies predicts a significant portion of the cross-country heterogeneity in earnings losses." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"We measure and interpret the evolution of labour market protection across 21 high-income countries over three decades, employing as conceptual foundations the ‘regime varieties’ and ‘trajectories of change’ developed by Esping-Andersen, Estevez-Abe, Hall and Soskice, and Thelen. We measure labour market protection considering four institutional dimensions – employment protection, unemployment protection, income maintenance and activation – and the evolution of the workforce composition. This measurement accounts for the joint evolution of labour market institutions, their complementarities and their relation to outcomes, and mitigate the unrealistic Average Production Worker assumption. We handle the multi-dimensional nature of labour market protection with Principal Component Analysis and capture the characteristics of countries’ trajectories of change with a composite score. We contribute to the literature in three ways. (1) We portray a revised typology that accounts for processes of change between 1990 and 2015, and that clusters regime varieties on the basis of coordination and solidarity levels, that is, Central/Northern European, Southern European, liberal. (2) We illustrate that, despite a persistent gap, a large majority of Coordinated Market Economies experiencing a decline in the level of labour market protection became more similar to Liberal Market Economies. (3) We develop a fivefold taxonomy of countries’ trajectories of change (liberalization, dualization, flexibility, de-dualization and higher protection), showing that these trajectories are not always path-dependent and consistent with regime varieties previously developed in the literature."

Abstract
"The authors examine the impact of ethnic bias based on public employment officers' decisions when choosing whom to recommend for participation in a labor market program. On the basis of an experiment that uses job seekers' own portrait photographs, their recorded voices, and their real names, findings show that when recommending job seekers for labor market programs, female caseworkers are not affected by job seekers' appearance, but male caseworkers favor job seekers who are perceived to have a stereotypical Swedish appearance. Moreover, the authors find that, as intended by the guidelines of the Swedish Public Employment Service, both male and female caseworkers favor job seekers perceived, based on the job seekers' recorded voice, to have a foreign background. The authors' conclusions suggest that when no explicit guidelines are provided for addressing the impact of ethnic stereotypes on selection for training programs, a risk of bias based on ethnic stereotypes of physical appearance exists."

In: Journal of Professions and Organization, Jg. 7, H. 3, S. 316-333. DOI:10.1093/jpo/joaa015
Abstract
"Officials in welfare state bureaucracies face the challenge of negotiating their role identities in the context of changeable organizational priorities and managerial styles. Previous studies have found that the professional values may mediate top-down demands and enable the preservation of professional autonomy also under public management reforms. But how do street-level bureaucrats who lack a common professional or occupational training respond to shifting organizational demands? Based on comparative ethnography, the present article investigates how caseworkers’ role identities are conceived and practised in two of the largest state bureaucracies in Sweden, the Social Insurance Agency (SIA) and the Public Employment Service (PES). The article identifies two radically different agency cultures, resulting in rather opposite caseworker role identities. These role identities affect how front-line staff respond to organizational demands, either by focusing externally on client-related outcomes (PES) or internally on organizational output (SIA). The analysis suggests that agency culture may shape caseworker responses to governance in patterned ways, also in the absence of joint professional training or strong occupational communities."

Abstract
"In vielen europäischen Ländern sind Arbeitsmarktstrategien ins Zentrum der Aufmerksamkeit gerückt, mit denen die Arbeitgeber angehalten werden, Erwerbslosen den Weg zurück in die Arbeitswelt zu ermöglichen. Damit soll die Arbeitskräftenachfrage der Arbeitgeber gedeckt und ihr Wille beeinflusst werden, Erwerbslose verschiedener Gruppen (oft auch mit Behinderung) einzustellen, weiterzubilden oder anzuleiten. Dieser Artikel legt anhand einer qualitativen Interviewstudie mit Teilnehmern eines arbeitgeberorientierten Programms in einer mittelgroßen Stadt in Schweden dar, wie diese Strategien zur Beeinflussung der Arbeitgeber eingesetzt werden, um diese dazu zu bewegen, erwerbslose Arbeitnehmer einzustellen, und wie sich die dadurch geschaffenen Arbeitsplätze von regulären Arbeitsplätzen unterscheiden. Der Artikel kommt zum Schluss, dass die Schaffung von Arbeitsplätzen durch neue Vorkehrungen für die Arbeitsteilung mit dem Ziel, die regulären Mitarbeiter von unqualifizierten Aufgaben zu entlasten, den Willen der Arbeitgeber beeinflussen kann, Erwerbslose einzustellen, sofern diese Maßnahmen durch andere politische Instrumente ergänzt werden. Es wird jedoch auch gezeigt, dass diese neue Arbeitsteilung, bei der die Teilnehmer des Programms hauptsächlich Aufgaben ausführen, für die keine Qualifikation erforderlich ist, schwierig umzusetzen ist, da die neu Eingestellten nach und nach immer mehr Aufgaben übernehmen, die zuvor von den regulär Beschäftigten erledigt wurden."

Experimental evidence on displacement effects and mechanisms. (Working papers / Institute for Evaluation of Labour Market and Education Policy 2019,25), Uppsala, 52 S.
Abstract
"This paper uses a large-scale two-level randomized experiment to study direct and displacement effects of job search assistance. Our findings show that the assistance reduces unemployment among the treated, but also creates substantial displacement leading to higher unemployment for the non-treated. By using detailed information on caseworker and job seeker behavior we show that vacancy referrals passed on from caseworkers to job seekers is the driving mechanism behind the positive direct effect. We also examine explanations for the displacement effect and show that displacement is not due to constrained resources, but arises in the labor market. A comparison between different meeting formats suggests that face-to-face meetings and distance meetings are more effective than group meetings. Despite the existence of displacement effects, when we incorporate our results into an equilibrium search model we find that a complete roll-out of the program would lead to lower unemployment and slightly reduced government spending."

Abstract
"This paper studies how New Start Jobs (Nystartsjobb) and Employment Subsidies (Anstallningsstod) affect Swedish firms. We study effects on the number of employees, firm performance and other firm level outcomes. We use Swedish administrative data from the period 1998-2008. One result is that treated firms substantially outperform other recruiting firms after hiring through subsidies, both in terms of the number of employees and in terms of various production measures, despite having identical pre-match trajectories. This pattern is clear for the period with Employment Subsidies, but less clear for the period with New Start Jobs. For New Starts Jobs we instead see that they have a clear positive effect on firms' survival rates. Overall, our results suggest that targeted employment subsidies can have large positive effects on post-match outcomes of the hiring firms." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"We quantify the contribution of labor market reforms to unemployment dynamics in nine OECD countries (Australia, France, Germany, Japan, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, UK, US). We estimate a dynamic stochastic search-matching model with heterogeneous workers and aggregate productivity shocks. The heterogeneous-worker mechanism proposed by Robin (2011) explains unemployment volatility by productivity shocks well in all countries. Placement and employment services, UI benefit reduction and product market deregulation are found to be the most prominent policy levers for unemployment reduction. Business cycle shocks and LMPs explain about the same share of unemployment volatility (except for Japan, Portugal and the US)." (Author's abstract, © 2016 Elsevier) ((en))

Reissert, Bernd (2018): Beschäftigtentransfer stärken! Lehren aus einem internationalen Vergleich. (WISO Diskurs 2018,11), Bonn, 20 S.
Abstract
"Transfergesellschaften sind das wichtigste Instrument des Beschäftigtentransfers in Deutschland. Dennoch erreichen sie nur etwa ein bis zwei Prozent aller Arbeitnehmer_innen, die ihren Arbeitsplatz durch Stellenabbau oder Betriebsschließung verlieren. Der Beschäftigtentransfer, der den Betroffenen dazu verhelfen soll, ohne größere Unterbrechung eine dauerhafte Anschlussbeschäftigung zu finden, spielt in der deutschen Arbeitsmarktpolitik bislang nur eine untergeordnete Rolle. Für einen sich verschärfenden Strukturwandel erscheint Deutschland damit nur schwach gerüstet. Das vorliegende Papier legt zunächst die schwierigen Rahmenbedingungen dar, denen Transfergesellschaften in Deutschland unterliegen. Das Instrument der Transfergesellschaft verbindet Elemente des kollektiven Arbeitsrechts mit Elementen der öffentlichen Arbeitsförderung. Diese Konstruktion führt in der Praxis zu einer Vielzahl von Hindernissen, die die Nutzung des Instruments - trotz seiner nachweisbaren Erfolge und Vorteile - erheblich erschweren. In den anschließenden Kapiteln wendet sich das Papier den drei ausgewählten internationalen Beispielen zu und erläutert die Hintergründe der auf tarifvertraglicher Grundlage errichteten Arbeitssicherungsstiftungen (Job Security Councils) in Schweden, der in Kooperation von Gewerkschaften und Arbeitsverwaltung betriebenen Cellules de Reconversion in der belgischen Wallonie und der verschiedenen Varianten der Arbeitsstiftungen in Österreich. Der Vergleich mit den drei genannten Ländern kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass das System des Beschäftigtentransfers in Deutschland vor allem drei Schwächen aufweist. Erstens erreicht der Beschäftigtentransfer in Deutschland nur einen sehr viel kleineren Anteil der Beschäftigten als in Belgien und Österreich und vor allem in Schweden. Zweitens ist der Zugang für Arbeitnehmer_innen aus kleinen und mittleren Unternehmen (KMU), aus kleineren Restrukturierungsfällen und aus Betrieben ohne Betriebsrat zum Beschäftigtentransfer in Deutschland wesentlich schwieriger als in Schweden und Belgien (und teilweise auch in Österreich). Und drittens hat die Qualifizierung für einen dauerhaften neuen Arbeitsplatz im deutschen Beschäftigtentransfer eine geringere Bedeutung als in Schweden und Österreich. Die im Abschlusskapitel formulierten Reformvorschläge für Deutschland zielen damit sowohl auf breitere Zugänge in den Beschäftigtentransfer (vor allem aus KMU) als auch auf die Stärkung der Qualifizierung in Transfergesellschaften ab. Diese Reformschritte sollten angepackt werden, damit der Beschäftigtentransfer einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Bewältigung eines beschleunigten Strukturwandels leisten kann." (Autorenreferat, IAB-Doku)

Abstract
"This paper studies whether adverse selection can rationalize a universal mandate for unemployment insurance (UI). Building on a unique feature of the unemployment policy in Sweden, where workers can opt for supplemental UI coverage above a minimum mandate, we provide the first direct evidence for adverse selection in UI and derive its implications for UI design. We find that the unemployment risk is more than twice as high for workers who buy supplemental coverage, even when controlling for a rich set of observables. Exploiting variation in risk and prices to control for moral hazard, we show how this correlation is driven by substantial risk-based selection. Despite the severe adverse selection, we find that mandating the supplemental coverage is dominated by a design leaving the choice to workers. In this design, a large subsidy for supplemental coverage is optimal and complementary to the use of a minimum mandate. Our findings raise questions about the desirability of the universal mandate of generous UI in other countries, which has not been tested before." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"This paper considers treatment evaluation in a discrete time setting in which treatment can start at any point in time. We consider evaluation under unconfoundedness and propose a dynamic inverse probability weighting estimator. A typical application is an active labor market program that can start after any elapsed unemployment duration. The identification and estimation results concern both cases with one single treatment as well as sequences of programs. The new estimator is applied to Swedish data on participants in a training program and a work practice program. The work practice program increases re-employment rates. Most sequences of the two programs are inefficient when compared to one single program episode." (Author's abstract, © 2017 Elsevier) ((en))

Abstract
"Employment and wage subsidies are used to combat long-term unemployment, yet there is little research to guide the design of such programs. Discontinuities in the design and implementation of wage subsidies under the Swedish New Start Jobs-policy allow us to study effects of both subsidy rate and subsidy duration. We find that doubling of the subsidy rate has a substantial impact on job finding rates but that doubled subsidy duration has no such effect. We find the opposite pattern when we study the effects on the probability of staying employed for those who find subsidized employment. Interestingly, the positive employment effect of doubling the subsidy duration persists after the expiry of the employment subsidies." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"Training programs for the unemployed typically involve teaching a specific skill to ease the transition into employment. However, in 1997, the Swedish unemployed could choose general/theoretical training through enrollment in one year of full-time studies at the upper secondary school level. This study provides an empirical assessment of the relative earnings impact of general vs. specific training 13 years post-enrollment. In the long term, general training may compensate for the short-term relative earnings loss by enhancing the ability to adapt to changes in demand for skills. The analyses are based on population register data 1990-2010 and an unusually rich set of control variables. The results indicate that both programs are associated with earnings increases. Our relative program estimates reveal a short-term advantage of specific training that converges within 5-7 years. With a longer perspective, there is considerable heterogeneity in the relative earnings estimates. For females with short educations, the earnings increases following general training substantially exceed those following specific training." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Evaluation of sequences of treatments with application to active labor market policies (2015)

Vikström, Johan (2015): Evaluation of sequences of treatments with application to active labor market policies. (Working papers / Institute for Evaluation of Labour Market and Education Policy 2015,05), Uppsala, 47 S.
Abstract
"This paper proposes a new framework for analyzing the effects of sequences of treatments with duration outcomes. Applications include sequences of active labor market policies assigned at specific unemployment durations and sequences of medical treatments. We consider evaluation under unconfoundedness and propose conditions under which the survival time under a specific treatment regime can be identified. We introduce inverse probability weighting estimators for various average effects. The finite sample properties of the estimators are investigated in a simulation study. The new estimator is applied to Swedish data on participants in training, in a work practice program and in subsidized employment. One result is that enrolling an unemployed person twice in the same program or in two different programs one after the other leads to longer unemployment spells compared to only participating in a single program once."

(2015): Back to work: Sweden. Improving the re-employment prospects of displaced workers. (Back to work), Paris, 123 S. DOI:10.1787/9789264246812-en
Abstract
"Job displacement (involuntary job loss due to firm closure or downsizing) affects many workers over their lifetime. Displaced workers may face long periods of unemployment and, even when they find new jobs, tend to be paid less and have fewer benefits than in their prior jobs. Helping them get back into good jobs quickly should be a key goal of labour market policy. This report is the fourth in a series of reports looking at how this challenge is being tackled in a number of OECD countries. It shows that Sweden has been relatively successful in minimising the adverse effects of displaced workers, manily due to the longstanding tradition of collaboration between the social partners to share responsibility for restructuring by creating special arrangements and practices that provide help to workers much faster that in other OECD countries. Despite this positive institutional framework, there is room to improve policies targeted to displaced workers as remarkable inequalities still exist in both the Swedish labour market and in the way workers are treated."

Abstract
"This paper studies technical efficiency for Swedish employment offices between 2004 and 2010. Efficiency is computed using a semi-dynamic DEA-framework. On the input side we include a measure of input quality and we also control for services that are carried out by private contractors. On the output side we are using both intermediate and final outputs. The motivation for using an intermediate output is to take into account the fact that employment offices might have strengthen the possibility for unemployed individuals that remain unemployed to get a job in the forthcoming year. The study identifies an average yearly inefficiency between 7 and 10 percent. It is also observed that the inefficiency is unevenly distributed. To make employment offices more efficient this uneven distribution needs to be considered, otherwise efforts to improve efficiency might instead result in increased inefficiency."

Abstract
"Active inclusion aims at the reduction of poverty by strengthening the agency of excluded persons by the provision of a minimum income, activation and social services. The contribution to poverty alleviation is determined by expenditure levels and the organisation of these three policy fields. This can be shown by three examples: The comprehensive Swedish regime is characterised by high expenditures; the redistributive German regime is characterised by lower service levels and in Italy, all three dimensions are least developed. In addition, the organisation of services differs: Decentralised and discretionary system for the provision of services in Sweden, 'creaming and parking' effects in Germany and fragmented providers in Italy. As a result of different expenditure levels and organisational patterns, the selectivity of active inclusion strategies is low in Sweden, medium in Germany and high in Italy. Both the financial and organisational dimensions of active inclusion therefore are decisive for poverty alleviation." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"This paper discusses the case for expanding active labor market policy in recession. We find that there is reasonable case for relying more heavily on certain kinds of programs. The argument is tied to the varying size of the lock-in effect in boom and recession. If programs with relatively large lock-in effects should ever be used, they should be used in a downturn. The reason is simply that the cost of forgoing search time is lower in recession. We also provide new evidence on the relative effectiveness of different kinds of programs over the business cycle. In particular we compare an on-the-job training scheme with (traditional) labor market training. We find that labor market training is relatively more effective in recession. This result is consistent with our priors since labor market training features relative large lock-in effects." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Use of profiling for resource allocation, action planning and matching (2011)
Zitatform
Konle-Seidl, Regina (2011): Use of profiling for resource allocation, action planning and matching. (Profiling systems for effective labour market integration), Brüssel, 21 S.
Abstract
"Profiling is in many European countries part of a customized 'expert system'. These service delivery systems are characterized by 1) profiling as a quantitative (statistical forecasts) or qualitative (structured interviews, capability tests) diagnostic tool to identify clients' risks 2) customer differentiation for giving different customers different access to employment services according to their needs with the aim to target resources. The idea behind customized or personalized services is that individuals differ in their employability and that such employability declines as the duration of non-employment increases. However, in all European Public Employment Services (PES), it's the caseworker who makes the final decision on the services to be provided. This stands in contrast to the US profiling system where 'hard' (statistical) profiling is compulsory for caseworkers and where the results of statistical profiling are the only factor that determines whether a client has to be transferred to further re-employment support.
A review of experiences with profiling in seven countries (Australia, Germany, Denmark, France, the Netherlands, Sweden and the US) show no clear trend, but rather diverging developments in relation to the intensity of using profiling and early intervention strategies. The degree of customer differentiation, as well as the degree of coordination between customer segments and integration measures is very dissimilar across countries. Only few PES (e.g. the German BA and the French Pole d'Emploi) follow a coherent and integrated strategy based on profiling, client segmentation and targeted resource allocation.
Compared to the situation in the mid-2000s, dynamic profiling, i.e. the regular follow-up of the labour market prospects of clients is nowadays mainstream in most countries. Beyond the aim of predicting client needs, there are additional goals linked to profiling and streaming employment services. In countries like Denmark or Germany where UI and non-insured welfare clients are administered now by a single organisation, the aim of providing a common framework for different customer groups has a high priority.
Although there is widespread agreement among researchers and policy makers that prevention and early intervention is the best way of reducing the negative psychological, social and labour market effects of unemployment, only few impact studies have tried to quantify the possible efficiency gains of profiling and early intervention so far. Moreover, there is a general evidence gap in all countries with respect to the impact of different service delivery systems on on/off-flow rates from unemployment or benefit receipt.
Based on the country review, a number of lessons for implementation, i.e. implications for caseworkers and PES managers to further develop profiling and targeting systems can be highlighted. How to balance intensive support with a self-help strategy is a crucial challenge for the years to come. The need for differentiation depends very much on the diversity of client groups the PES is in charge of. However, against the background of stretched budgets, the proof of the cost-effectiveness of labour market programmes and early intervention strategies will be a critical factor."

How important are caseworkers - and why?: new evidence from Swedish employment offices (2011)

Lagerström, Jonas (2011): How important are caseworkers - and why? New evidence from Swedish employment offices. (Institute for Labour Market Policy Evaluation. Working paper 2011,10), Uppsala, 25 S.
Abstract
"Caseworkers at the Swedish Public Employment Office (PES) have an important role in helping the unemployed to find a job. In this study, I estimate the effect of caseworkers on jobseekers' future employment rates, earnings, and wages. To take into account that the average characteristics of the unemployed can vary between caseworkers, I only use information from local employment offices that randomly allocate caseworkers to clients. The results indicate that caseworkers have an effect on the jobseekers' future employment and earnings. For example, the probability of being employed within a year is about 13 percent higher if the caseworker is one standard deviation higher in the distribution of caseworkers. Distinctive of a successful caseworker is that they assist in job search rather than assigning their jobseekers to various training programs." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"This study focuses on how the effects from investments in Active Labour Market Policy programmes (ALMPs) may be differently distributed due to the age and educational level of participants. Outcomes were measured as the chance of labour market inclusion, labour market stability and post-unemployment incomes. This longitudinal study captures long-term effects among 50,000 Swedes who entered unemployment in 1993. While the youngest gained most from ALMP-training, the oldest were best helped by ALMP-employment in reducing the risk of labour market exit. The lowest educated gained much from ALMP participation, although the effects were weaker than expected: those with a higher education gained more in terms of labour market stability from ALMP-training compared with the less educated persons. This result was interpreted in terms of a springboard effect, meaning that ALMP-training pushes higher educated people into further education in the regular educational arena."

Abstract
"At what point in a business cycle do long-term unemployed persons gain most from participation in active labour market policy programmes (ALMP) as compared with openly unemployed persons? This article studies this question from the perspective of individual human capital with the hazard of labour market exit and chances of future labour market stability and equal post-unemployment income as output variables. All the long-term unemployed in Sweden were followed on a four-year basis, with 1993 (recession) and 1999 (boom) as starting years. The study shows mainly positive effects among participants regardless of the state of the market. However, ALMP training has a 'bridging' effect over different labour market conditions, and a quick return to the regular labour market is, therefore, not as important for the success of participation as it is among ALMP employment participants."

Abstract
"Active Labor Market Programs are widely used in European countries, but despite many econometric evaluation studies analyzing particular programs no conclusive cross-country evidence exists regarding 'what program works for what target group under what (economic and institutional) circumstances?'. This paper aims at answering this question using a meta-analysis based on a data set that comprises 137 program evaluations from 19 countries. The empirical results of the meta-analysis are surprisingly clear-cut: Rather than contextual factors such as labor market institutions or the business cycle, it is almost exclusively the program type that seems to matter for program effectiveness. While direct employment programs in the public sector frequently appear detrimental, wage subsidies and 'Services and Sanctions' can be effective in increasing participants' employment probability. Training programs - the most commonly used type of active policy - show modestly positive effects." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"The effectiveness of public funds in increasing public employment has long been a question on public and labor economists' minds. In most federal countries local governments employ large fractions of the working population, meaning that a tool for stimulating local public employment can substantially affect the overall unemployment level. This paper asks whether general grants to lower-level governments have the potential of doing so. Applying the regression kink design to the Swedish grant system, we are able to estimate causal effects of intergovernmental grants on personnel in different local government sectors. Our robust conclusion is that personnel in the central administration increased substantially after a marginal increase in grants, but that such an effect was lacking both for total personnel and personnel in child care, schools, elderly care, social welfare and in technical services. We suggest several potential reasons for these results, such as heterogeneous treatment effects and bureaucratic influence in the local decision-making process." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"A Trial Introduction Program (TIP) for newly-arrived immigrants to Sweden was implemented from October 2006 to June 2008 in order to meet the main criticisms directed at existing introduction programs. Two primary innovations were introduced, flexible language instruction parallel with other labor market activities at the Public Employment Service (PES) and intensive counseling and coaching by PES caseworkers with considerably reduced caseloads. Within participating municipalities, newly-arrived immigrants were randomly assigned into TIP (treatment) or regular introduction programs (control). Results indicate significant treatment effects on the probability of attaining regular employment as well as the probability of entering intermediate PES training programs. Hazard rates into PES training programs were also significantly higher for participants in TIP in comparison to participants in regular introduction programs." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"In many countries welfare services that traditionally have been provided by the public sector are increasingly being contracted out to private providers. But are private contractors better at providing these services? We use a randomized experiment to empirically assess the effectiveness of contacting out employment services to private placement agencies. Our results show that unemployed at private placement agencies have a much closer interaction with their placement worker than unemployed at the Public Employment Service (PES). In particular, unemployed at private agencies receive more assistance in improving their job search technology. We do not find any overall difference in the probability of employment between private placement agencies and the PES), but this hides important heterogeneities across different types of unemployed. We find evidence that private providers are better at providing employment services to immigrants, and also indications that they may be worse for adolescents. Any effects tend to fade away over time." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"One goal of the public employment service is to facilitate matching between unemployed job seekers and job vacancies; another goal is to monitor job search so as to bring search efforts among the unemployed in line with search requirements. The referral of job seekers to vacancies is one instrument used for these purposes. We report results from a randomized Swedish experiment where the outcome of referrals is examined. To what extent do unemployed individuals actually apply for the jobs they are referred to? Does information to job seekers about increased monitoring affect the probability of applying and the probability of leaving unemployment? The experiment indicates that a relatively large fraction (one third) of the referrals do not result in job applications. Information about intensified monitoring causes an increase in the probability of job application, especially among young people. However, we find no significant impact on the duration of unemployment." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"This paper uses experimental data to study the effects of participation in intensified placement efforts on subsequent job chances and earnings. Five small-scale experiments were performed in four different regions of Sweden in 2004 and the control groups were offered the PES regular services. Due to small samples, many of the impact estimates were imprecise and insignificant. However, the services generally reduced unemployment among the treated. I find significantly enhanced exits to either jobs or other activities (or both) in four of the experiments. Three of the experiments also report positive effects on employment probability and earnings in the years following the programme. Finally, combining job-search assistance and monitoring of job search generated significantly better results than monitoring alone in one of the experiment locations."

Abstract
"This paper investigates whether mandatory activation programs for welfare receivers have effects on welfare participation, employment and disposable income. In contrast to earlier studies we are able to capture both entry and exit effects. The empirical analysis makes use of a Swedish welfare reform in which the city districts in Stockholm gradually implemented mandatory activation programs for individuals on welfare. The reform is well suited for investigating effects of such programs for several reasons. First, the reform was not combined with any other policy instruments, like time limits or tax credits, making sure that we will capture effects of mandatory activation policies and nothing else. Second, the reform was initiated at different points of time in different city districts, which ease identification. Third, using data from city districts within a single local labor market we can control for confounding macro economic shocks. Overall, we find that mandatory activation of welfare receivers reduce overall welfare participation and increases employment. We also find that mandatory activation programs appear to work best for young people and for people born in non-Western countries. For disposable income, we do not find a statistically significant effect." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"Die Einführung einer aktivierenden Sozialpolitik ist das zentrale Merkmal der Reform moderner Wohlfahrtsstaaten seit den 1990er Jahren. Ein wesentliches Element dieser Politik ist die Implementierung von Aktivierungsmaßnahmen für erwerbsfähige Hilfeempfänger, die heute in den meisten Ländern obligatorischen Charakter haben. Ziel dieser 'Aktivierenden Sozialpolitik' ist die Erwerbsintegration möglichst aller erwerbsfähigen Hilfeempfänger und ihre Unabhängigkeit von Sozialleistungen. Damit verschiebt sich im Spannungsfeld von De- und Rekommodifizierung der Arbeitskraft, durch das wohlfahrtsstaatliche Politiken stets gekennzeichnet sind, der Akzent hin zu einer verstärkten Rekommodifizierung. Darüber hinaus soll Aktivierung aber auch allgemein zur sozialen Inklusion insbesondere marginalisierter Gruppen beitragen. Bei allen weiterhin bestehenden Unterschieden ist dabei eine konvergente Entwicklung europäischer Wohlfahrtsstaaten zu beobachten. In deutlicher Diskrepanz zur politischen Bedeutung von Aktivierungsmaßnahmen steht das relativ geringe Wissen über ihre Wirkungen. Der Bericht will am Beispiel von Großbritannien, den Niederlanden, Dänemark und Schweden, die verschiedene wohlfahrtsstaatliche Typen repräsentieren, einerseits die Zielrichtung und institutionelle Ausgestaltung von Aktivierungsprogrammen für Sozialhilfeempfänger und Langzeitarbeitslose beleuchten, andererseits einen Beitrag dazu leisten, die Forschungslücke hinsichtlich der Teilnahme an Aktivierungsmaßnahmen und ihrer Effekte auf den Abgang aus Leistungsbezug und den Übergang in Beschäftigung oder anderes zu schließen. Als Datenbasis für die Bewertung der Programmeffekte dienen 256 Evaluationsstudien aus den betrachteten Ländern. Die Ergebnisse zeigen zunächst, dass bereits die Zugänge zu Aktivierungsprogrammen selektiv sind: Personen mit multiplen Vermittlungshemmnissen haben geringere Chancen auf die Teilnahme an arbeitsmarktnahen Programmen. Der Abgang aus Leistungsbezug und der Übergang in Beschäftigung werden durch die Programmteilnahme positiv beeinflusst, jedoch sind die Nettoeffekte überwiegend gering. Als besonders wichtig erweist sich ein professionelles und unterstützendes Fallmanagement mit intensiver Betreuung der Arbeitsuche. Die stärksten Wiedereingliederungseffekte haben alle Formen subventionierter Beschäftigung, vor allem im privaten Sektor. Hilfesuchende mit multiplen Vermittlungshemmnissen haben nicht nur geringere Chancen auf Zugang zu effektiven Programmen, für sie hat die Teilnahme in Hinblick auf Unabhängigkeit von Sozialleistungen bzw. Erwerbsintegration auch geringere Wirkungen als für arbeitsmarktnahe Hilfeempfänger. Untersuchungen der Bewertung von Aktivierungsmaßnahmen durch die Teilnehmer zeigen jedoch gerade für diese Gruppen überwiegend deutliche Zustimmung. Selbst wenn keine Erwerbsintegration erreicht wird, werden Effekte im Sinne von Erhöhung des Selbstvertrauens, Zunahme sozialer Kontakte, Überwindung von Isolation oder Erlernen neuer Fähigkeiten ausgewiesen. Aktivierungsmaßnahmen tragen somit dazu bei, soziale Exklusion zu verhindern bzw. zu beseitigen und können dabei Erwerbsfähigkeit herstellen oder erhöhen." (Autorenreferat, IAB-Doku)

Abstract
"In den meisten modernen Wohlfahrtsstaaten wurden Aktivierungspolitiken eingeführt, die den 'Hartz-IV'-Reformen hierzulande vergleichbar sind. Die Wirkungen von Programmen für erwerbsfähige Hilfeempfänger werden hier an den Beispielen Großbritannien, Dänemark, Schweden und Niederlande untersucht. Die Gewährung von Leistungen an erwerbsfähige Hilfeempfänger wird systematisch an die Pflicht zur Arbeitsuche bzw. Teilnahme an Programmen geknüpft. Der Aktivierungsprozess und die Programmtypen weisen länderübergreifend große Ähnlichkeiten auf. Hauptsächliche Zielgruppen der Programme sind Jugendliche einerseits, Langzeitarbeitslose bzw. Sozialhilfeempfänger andererseits. Der Zugang zu den Maßnahmen ist selektiv: Arbeitsmarktferne Gruppen haben geringere Chancen auf Zugang zu arbeitsmarktnahen Programmen. Die Integrationseffekte der Programme sind insgesamt eher gering. Die stärksten Effekte haben ein professionelles Fallmanagement und Lohnsubventionierung. Zwischen der politischen Bedeutung der Aktivierung und dem Wissen über die Teilnahme an Programmen und deren Wirkungen besteht bisher eine erhebliche Diskrepanz. Bessere Evaluationsforschung könnte künftig bei der Gestaltung von Aktivierungspolitiken helfen." (Autorenreferat, IAB-Doku)

Abstract
"The vocational employment training program is the most expensive training program in Sweden and a cornerstone of labor market policy. We analyze its causal effects on the individual transition rate from unemployment to employment by exploiting variation in the timing of treatment and outcome, dealing with selectivity on unobservables. We demonstrate the appropriateness of this approach in our con-text by studying the enrollment process. We develop a model allowing for duration dependence and unobserved heterogeneity (leading to spurious duration dependence) in the treatment effect itself, and we prove non-parametric identification. The data cover the population and include multiple unemployment spells for many individuals. The results indicate a large significantly positive effect on exit to work shortly after exiting the program. The effect at the individual level diminishes after some weeks. When taking account of the time spent in the program, the effect on the mean unemployment duration is small." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"The differential performance of six Swedish active labour market programs for the unemployed is investigated in terms of short- and long-term employment probability and unemployment-benefit dependency. Both relative to one another and compared to more intense job search, the central finding is that the more similar to a regular job, the more effective a program is for its participants. Employment subsidies perform best by far, followed by trainee replacement and, by a long stretch, labour market training. Relief work and two types of work practice schemes appear by contrast to be mainly used to re-qualify for unemployment benefits." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"Previous studies have shown mixed results concerning the effects of participation in active labour market policy programmes (ALMPs) on the longer-term scars in the form of poor income development and low job stability following the end of an unemployment spell. Most previous studies, however, have been limited both in the time frame used and to particular programmes. We argue that human capital investments are long-term investments and should therefore also be investigated from a long-term perspective. ALMP training and ALMPs as subsidised employment also represent different types of human capital investments that may produce effects that are differently distributed over time. In order to handle these issues, this article uses a longitudinal register-based dataset in which all long-term (more than six months) unemployed Swedes in 1993, who had no labour market problems in 1992, were followed for ten years. We found positive effects of ALMP participation concerning both the probability of reaching pre-unemployment incomes and a reduction in the hazard of exiting the labour market, while the effect on the probability of having an unemployment-free year was mixed. The effects of the two forms of ALMPs were differently distributed over time, with ALMP employment having an immediate effect that decreased relatively quickly and ALMP training having a longer-term effect."

Abstract
"Der schwedische Wohlfahrtsstaat wird häufig als gelungene Kombination aus wirtschaftlichem Erfolg und sozialer Gerechtigkeit angesehen. Zu Beginn der 1990er befand sich Schweden jedoch in einer schweren Krise, aus der es sich mittlerweile weitestgehend erholt hat. Seit der Krise wurden einige Reformbemühungen in der Arbeitsmarkt- und Tarifpolitik unternommen. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, den Einfluss der Reformbemühungen auf die wirtschaftliche Erholung seit der Krise zu erarbeiten. Unter Berücksichtigung der aktuellen makroökonomischen Diskussion wird ein Arbeitsmarktmodell entwickelt, welches die schwedischen Gegebenheiten einbezieht. Mithilfe des Modells werden die verschiedenen Entwicklungen in der schwedischen Arbeitsmarkt- und Tarifpolitik bewertet. Ein besonderer Fokus liegt dabei auf der Verflechtung der Arbeitsmarkpolitiken untereinander, der Arbeitsmarktpolitik mit der Tarifpolitik und deren Zusammenwirken mit makroökonomischen Schocks. Als Ergebnis wird gezeigt, dass gerade das Zusammenwirken der verschiedenen Reformbemühungen die wirtschaftliche Erholung begünstigt hat. Allerdings zeigt sich auch, dass für die benachteiligten Gruppen des Arbeitsmarktes weitere Anstrengungen nötig sind." (Autorenreferat, IAB-Doku)

Abstract
"This paper assesses the impact of Swedish welfare-to-work programmes on labour market performance including wages, labour market status, unemployment duration and future welfare-to-work participation. We develop a structural dynamic model of labour supply which incorporates detailed institutional features of these policies and allows for selection on observables and unobservables. We estimate the model from a rich administrative panel data set and show that training programmes - which account for a large proportion of programmes - have little effect on future outcomes, whereas job experience programmes have a beneficial effect."

In dieser Studie über ein in diesem Sinne universelles Arbeitsmarktprogramm in Schweden mit dem Titel 'Aktivitäts-Garantie' wird gezeigt, wie regionale Unterschiede bei der Umsetzung der Vorschriften zur Zuweisung in das Programm genutzt werden, um eine Kontrollgruppe zu bilden. Nachdem der Zugang zu den Daten einer Teilnehmergruppe und einer Kontrollgruppe geklärt war, evaluierten die Autoren die Effekte des Programms auf die Abgangswahrscheinlichkeit aus und auf die Dauer der Arbeitslosigkeit.

Abstract
"The Swedish labour market and social policy is aimed at facilitating flexibility in the labour market. The active labour market policy and the design of the social security pension system are two frequently mentioned examples of that policy. This does not necessarily mean that all policy programs are in accordance with the goal of enhancing flexibility. In this paper we analyze one part of the social and occupational (collectively bargained) security system - the compensation at unemployment with special emphasis on the schemes complementing compensation from the unemployment insurance scheme. We focus on the effects of those systems on labour market flexibility. Some parts of these complementing systems support mobility and return to work after layoffs, other parts of the systems may lead to that workers avoid job mobility and to prolonged periods of unemployment. Of special interest is that those complementing systems differ between different sectors of the labour market and that many, especially young people, are not covered."

Abstract
"Interorganizational cooperation is often considered valuable in the public sector. However, in this article it is suggested that the impact of cooperation on public policy implementation is dependent on the type of policy being carried out. It is argued that complex policies are more effectively put into practice if agencies cooperate a lot, whereas less difficult tasks are handled just as well without interorganizational cooperation. Thus, two policies within the Swedish active labor market policy are examined. The empirical test focuses on the cooperation between Public Employment Service offices and municipal labor market administrations. In agreement with the hypothesis, the findings suggest that policy matters. The implementation of one of the policies - the complex policy - is enhanced if cooperation between agencies increase. On the other hand, cooperation does not improve implementation of the less complex task. The study is based on quantitative data." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"The paper studies the efficiency of Swedish labour market policies for young workers. Using age discontinuities which define which policy regime an individual is covered by we present quasi-experimental evidence on the relative efficiency of different policy regimes currently in use. Results suggest that youth policies are more effective than the policies covering adult unemployed. The effects mainly appear early in the unemployment spell; we find no evidence of positive long run effects. To uncover which part of the policies that accounts for the positive effect, we use matching techniques to study the relative efficiency of youth programmes and general adult programmes which are available also for the young. The results indicate that youth programmes are significantly less effective than adult oriented programmes. Overall, the evidence thus suggest that youth policies speed up the transition from unemployment to jobs either due to pre-programme deterrence effects or because of more intense job search support from the public employment services before the programmes."

Abstract
"Schweden hat, anders als die meisten Länder, beim Einsatz aktiver Arbeitsmarktpolitik (ALMP, Active Labour Market Policy) eine lange Tradition. Besonders umfangreich war der Einsatz von ALMP in den letzten 15 Jahren - eine Reaktion auf den plötzlichen und steilen Anstieg der Arbeitslosigkeit in den frühen 90er Jahren. Die schwedischen Erfahrungen bieten deshalb eine einzigartige Möglichkeit, die Effekte von ALMP zu analysieren. Das Papier - eine aktualisierte und gekürzte Fassung eines Überblicksartikels aus dem Jahre 2001 (von Calmfors, Forslund und Hemström) - fasst die Befunde zu den Beschäftigungseffekten von ALMP in Schweden zusammen. Der Fokus liegt sowohl auf den Beschäftigungseffekten für die in Maßnahmen Einbezogenen als auch auf den gesamtwirtschaftlichen Beschäftigungseffekten. Die Befunde lassen die Schlussfolgerung zu, dass Arbeitsmarktpolitik Massenarbeitslosigkeit nicht eliminieren kann - sie kann keine Wunder bewirken. Um Beschäftigungszuwächse zu erzielen, sind andere Maßnahmen erforderlich. ALMP kann jedoch die Erwerbsbeteiligung erhöhen, was sich dann als wesentlich herausstellen kann, wenn mit dem nächsten ökonomischen Aufschwung die Beschäftigung wieder ansteigt. ALMP muss aber sorgsam eingesetzt werden. Weiterhin zeigen die Erfahrungen in Schweden, dass Programme nicht zu zusätzlichen Leistungsansprüchen bei Arbeitslosigkeit führen sollten, da sonst die Anreizsysteme verzerrt und individuelle Beschäftigungseffekte vermindert werden."

Abstract
"In this paper experimental data from three Swedish demonstration programmes in 2004 are used to study pre-programme effects of active placement efforts. In one of the experiments, targeted towards a broad group of UI receivers, arranged job-search activities in groups combined with increased monitoring of job-search efforts generated a 46 per cent increase in the escape rate between referral to and start of the programme services. This translates into a two-week reduction of the ongoing UI spell. Referrals to increased monitoring alone did not have the same effect on exit behaviour. In the other two experiments, targeted towards youth and highly educated respectively, referrals to active placement efforts had no effect on the pre-programme outflow."

Abstract
"In many cases assignment to a treatment may affect concomitant variables. I show how a concomitant variable can be used to corroborate evidence from an observational study. In the observational study two types of training programs are compared. One program is part of regular Swedish labor market training while the other program was run by Swedish industry during 1998-2000. A large and positive effect on employment is found from this latter program. In this program it was much easier to get employer contact than in the regular program. From a survey I have information about employer contacts in the two programs. I find the same positive effect on employment from employer contacts in either program and no effects from the new program when conditioning on employer contacts. I interpret this as a causal effect on employment from employer contacts. In addition, this effect is found to be more pronounced for individuals with a weak position in the labor market."

Nivorozhkin, Anton (2006): Essays on unemployment duration and programme evaluation. (Göteborg University, Department of Economics. Economic studies 149), Göteborg: Göteborg University, Getr. Sz.
Abstract
"The process of labour market transformation in the 1990s attracted a lot of attention from economists and policy makers. Unprecedented changes, like rapid reforms in Central and Eastern Europe and later the expansion of the European Union, require a deeper understanding of current labour-market trends. This dissertation provides three essays focusing on the impact of the active labour market programmes and the determinants of unemployment duration in the second half of the 1990s in Russia and Sweden. The first two chapters of my dissertation provide a foundation for a policy analysis of issues related to unemployment duration and for an evaluation of the effect of training programmes offered by the state to unemployed individuals in urban Russia. Paper 1 investigates the impact of training programmes on wages of individuals. Using data from the official unemployment register combined with the information from the follow-up survey, I use the method of 'propensity-score matching' to evaluate the effect of training programmes. The result suggests that participants of training programmes receive higher wages after deregistering from the employment office. The paper identifies important gender differences; the effect of training was smaller for females. Paper 2 examines the determinants of unemployment duration of individuals registered as unemployed. The results of a piece-wise constant proportional hazard model imply that the hazard of finding a job is non-monotonic and tends to decrease with time spent in unemployment. An important finding is that only 29% of the unemployed obtained a job simultaneously with deregistering from the Public Employment Office (PEO). Others continued to search for job on their own. I find that the intensity of the job search increases after individuals leave the public employment office. The final chapter of the thesis, Paper 3, addresses the question of whether the possibility of exit from unemployment to the previous employer affects the duration of unemployment spells in Sweden. The empirical analysis is performed using an employee-employer dataset that includes a number of enterprise characteristics and provides information on individual tenure. The econometric approach employs estimation of a competing risk duration model to distinguish between exits to the previous employer and exits to a new job. The findings suggest that greater tenure raises the risks of transitions to the previous employer, while high education levels increase the risk of obtaining a new job. Moreover, the impact of benefit exhaustion is observed only for transitions to new employment." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"In 2001 and 2002, Sweden introduced several unemployment insurance reforms. A major innovation in the first reform was the introduction of a two-tiered benefit structure for some unemployed individuals. This system involved supplementary compensation during the first 20 weeks of unemployment. The 2002 reform retained the two-tiered benefit structure but involved also substantial benefit hikes for spells exceeding 20 weeks. This paper examines how these reforms affected transitions from unemployment to employment. We take advantage of the fact that the reforms had quasi-experimental features where the 'treatments' differed considerably among unemployed individuals. We find that the reforms had strikingly different effects on job finding among men and women. The two reforms in conjunction are estimated to have increased the expected duration of unemployment among men but to have decreased the duration of unemployment among women. The overall effect on the duration of unemployment is not statistically different from zero. However, the reforms reduced job finding among males who remained unemployed for more than 20 weeks."

This result seems to be robust to several alternative specifications." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"Young unemployed persons are a prioritised group in active labour market programmes. Such programmes can be regarded as 'integrative', facilitating integration into the labour market for young people in accordance with their own preferences. However, such programmes can also be regarded as 'defensive', discouraging young unemployed persons from claiming transfer incomes and urging them to lower their sights when looking for jobs. The article examines the conceptions of the young participants themselves, analysing whether activation programmes are experienced in ways endorsing the integrative or the defensive perspective across different European welfare states. Survey data from these countries indicate that activation programmes for youth are at the integrative end of the spectrum. This is especially the case in the universal welfare regime countries, which are also the group of countries in which youth activation schemes are most widespread. Participant's scheme evaluations are least favourable in Scotland, in line with expectations of a liberal welfare regime approach. Most conservative welfare regime countries fall in between."

The following chapters take a more theoretical approach, applying the analytical tools of theory to policy issues. These three studies examine the general equilibrium repercussions of public support for both basic and higher education, develop an efficiency wage model to analyze mandated severance pay, and compare different kinds of redistribution to low-skill workers financed by an increased tax on capital."

Abstract
"We estimate the relative efficiency of eight Swedish labor market programs in reducing the unemployment duration for participants, using a rich, administrative data set of all adult unemployed workers. We find that programs in which the participants obtain subsidized work experience and training provided by firms have better outcomes than classroom vocational training. The relative efficiency is similar across demographic and skill groups, and independent of the timing of the placement. A careful examination of the assignment process to programs reveals no self-selection, but substantial administrative selection. It appears to be unrelated to the outcome, however, and should not bias the results." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"Die vorliegende Studie ist eine empirische Untersuchung der Auswirkungen eines Pilotprojektes, bei dem Arbeitslose vorübergehend als Arbeitsberater eingesetzt wurden. Wirtschaftstheorien sehen einen positiven Zusammenhang zwischen der Intensität der Suche nach einem Arbeitsplatz und dem Austritt aus der Arbeitslosigkeit. Das grundlegende Konzept des Projektes lag im Einsatz von Arbeitslosen, die nach einer kundenorientierten Schulung anderen Arbeitslosen bei ihrer Arbeitssuche assistierten. Zeitlich angesiedelt wurde das Projekt in einer Phase sehr hoher Arbeitsbelastung in den öffentlichen Arbeitsagenturen, die zu einer drastischen Reduzierung der Kapazitäten für die Einzelberatung von Arbeitslosen führte. Grundlage bildete ein Abkommen zwischen Gewerkschaftsverbänden und der schwedischen Arbeitsverwaltung. Basierend auf Geschäftsdaten der Arbeitsverwaltung untersucht dieses Papier die Wirkung des Projektes auf die Wahrscheinlichkeit aus der Arbeitslosenstatistik der Beschäftigungsagenturen auszuscheiden (einzelne Gründe für das Ausscheiden werden separat untersucht) oder in ein Beschäftigungsprogramm aufgenommen zu werden. Für arbeitssuchende Programmteilnehmer untersucht die Studie auch die Wahrscheinlichkeit des Eintritts in Beschäftigung im Anschluss an die Programmteilnahme. Ebenso wird der zeitliche Zusammenhang zwischen dem Projektbeginn bis zum Ausscheiden eines Arbeitssuchenden aus der Arbeitslosenstatistik oder dessen Eintritt in ein Arbeitsmarktprogramm untersucht. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass sich das Projekt positiv auf die Bemühungen bei der Suche nach einer Beschäftigung auswirkt und dadurch Langzeitarbeitslosigkeit reduziert wird."

Abstract
"Until recently, an unemployed person in Sweden who participated in an active labour market programme earned entitlement to a further 60 weeks of unemployment insurance (UI) benefits. A 'carousel' effect - cycling between periods of open unemployment and participation in active programmes - increasingly seen came to be seen as a factor making the active programmes less effective in promoting the transition to ordinary work. Following policy reforms in 2000 and 2001, participation in a programme no longer generates new UI entitlements. However, the public employment service (PES) can refer the unemployed to a new programme, the Activity Guarantee. This provides continuing income support, and engages participants in job-search and other activities in principle full-time until they find ordinary work.
This paper summarises findings from two questionnaire surveys of the implementation of the Activity Guarantee. The first survey was addressed to PES case workers, who have direct personal contact with participants and much of the responsibility for designing programme content. The second survey was addressed to participants, and reports on their personal characteristics and job search activity, and their experience of the programme and views about its effectiveness.
Many case workers thought that information concerning the content of the Activity Guarantee was not sufficiently clear, and that they had not received sufficient training for this work. Existing guidelines were not always implemented: contrary to quality criteria, case workers on the programme often had other work assignments, and almost one quarter of PES offices did not offer programme participants a full-time activity. A common method of implementing the programme was to first engage participants in job-search activities for groups, and later offer a place on a regular labour market programme.
Participants in the Activity Guarantee have the usual characteristics of the long-term unemployed: a relatively high mean age, a relatively high share with a disability, and a low level of training. On the whole, survey respondents were content with the programme. However, almost half were critical of the activities offered and more than half said they would not participate if it did not provide them with income. Two-thirds reported that they were activated full-time. However, only slightly more than half met their supervisor as often as once a month. Fewer had applied for a job within the last four weeks, or knew that they had an individual action plan. Since 2001, benefit recipients must widen their geographic and occupational areas of job search after 100 days of unemployment, and supervisors had recommended nearly three-fifths of respondents to widen their occupational search area, and one-fifth to widen their geographic search area. However, there were no clear signs that job-search activity had increased among the participants." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en)) -

Forslund, Anders, Per Johansson & Linus Lindqvist (2004): Employment subsidies. A fast lane from unemployment to work? (Institute for Labour Market Policy Evaluation. Working paper 2004,18), Uppsala, 55 S.
Abstract
"The treatment effect of a Swedish employment subsidy is estimated using exact covariate-matching and instrumental variables methods. Our estimates suggest that the programme had a positive treatment effect for the participants. We also show how non-parametric methods can be used to estimate the time profile of treatment effects as well as how to estimate the effect of entering the programme at different points in time in the unemployment spell. Our main results are derived using matching methods. However, as a sensitivity test, we apply instrumental variables difference-indifference methods. These estimates indicate that our matching results are robust." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Larsson, Laura & Oskar Nordström Skans (2004): Early indication of program performance: The case of a Swedish temporary employment program. (Institute for Labour Market Policy Evaluation. Working paper 2004,07), Uppsala, 21 S.
Abstract
"This paper proposes an application of standard evaluation techniques to obtain an early indication of the efficiency of a social program. An explicit distinction is made between participation and treatment since non-participants in many cases can find treatment outside of the program. By estimating the amount of treatment participants would have received if there had been no program it is possible to derive the net treatment provided by the program as soon as the first participants have entered the program. Using propensity score matching to study substitutes in the recently implemented Swedish 'Career Break' pilot program we obtain three main results: First, the selection into the program favours participants that would have received treatment even without the program. Second, the net treatment provided by the program is on average only about half of the expected program length. Third, a simulation shows how the net treatment could be increased by a simple change in the eligibility criteria." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"We investigate the presence of short- and long-term effects from joining a Swedish labor market program vis-a-vis more intense job search in open unemployment. Overall, the impact of the program system is found to have been mixed. Joining a program has increased employment rates among participants, a result robust to a misclassification problem in the data. On the other hand it has also allowed participants to remain significantly longer on unemployment benefits and more generally in the unemployment system, this being particularly the case for those entitled individuals entering a program around the time of their unemployment benefits' exhaustion."

Hammer, Torild (Hrsg.) (2003): Youth unemployment and social exclusion. A comparative study. Bristol: The Policy Press, 233 S.
Abstract
"Throughout the European Union rates of unemployment among young people tend to be higher than among the general population and there is a serious risk of marginalisation and exclusion. This book presents the findings of the first comparative study of unemployed youth in Europe using a large and original data set. It addresses some of the key questions around the issue including: -How do young people cope with unemployment? -Does unemployment lead to social exclusion of young people, implying a withdrawal from society, financial deprivation and social isolation? Drawing on a research sample of over 17.000 young unemployed people in 10 European countries, the book examines how different welfare strategies and labour market policies in different countries influence the risk of social exclusion among unemployed youth."

Abstract
"A nonparametric matching approach is applied to estimate the average effects of two active labor market programs for youth in Sweden: youth practice and labor market training. The results of the evaluation indicate either zero or negative effects of both programs on earnings, employment probability, and the probability of entering education in the short run, whereas the long-run effects are mainly zero or slightliy positive. The results also suggests that youth practice was more effective - or "less harmful" - than labor market training. However, there is considerable heterogeneity in the estimated treatment effects among individuals." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"Swedish labor market programs appear large from an international perspective, yet their consequences are not fully investigated and understood. In this paper the authors estimate a switching regression model with training effect modeled as a random coefficient, partitioned in an observed and unobserved component. They investigate labor market training for three cohorts during the 80s and the beginning of the 90s on its effect on earnings. They separate the analysis between Swedish-born and foreign-born individuals to identify differences in their responses to training. The results indicate that there is positive sorting into training. The authors find that the proportion of trainees having positive rewards from training was not very different from the proportion having negative rewards. This means that the results do not support the view that from efficiency considerations, too few persons were enrolled in labor market training during this period. Differences in results across cohorts can be interpreted as being caused by rapid changes in the labor market. Further, consistent with results from several previous studies, we find that being young often means no positive pay-off from training, and the same is found for persons with only primary education. In conflict with what earlier studies have shown, we found that males have a better pay-off from training than females. Rewards from training were higher for foreign-born than for natives and rewards among the former vary by place of birth." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

We examine to what extent the optimal policy involves monitoring of search e?ort and benefit sanctions if observed search is deemed insu?cient. We find that introducing monitoring and sanctions represents a welfare improvement for reasonable estimates of monitoring costs; this conclusion holds both relative to a system featuring indefinite payments of benefits and a system with a time limit on unemployment benefit receipt."

Do labor market programs affect labor force participation? (2002)

Johansson, Kerstin (2002): Do labor market programs affect labor force participation? (Institute for Labour Market Policy Evaluation. Working paper 2002,03), Uppsala, 23 S.
Abstract
"This paper estimates the macroeconomic effect of labor market programs on labor force participation. Labor market programs could counteract business cycle variation in the participation rate that is due to the discouraged-worker effect, and they could prevent labor force outflow. An equation that determines the participation rate is estimated using panel data (1986-1998) for Sweden's municipalities. The results indicate that labor market programs have relatively large and positive effects on labor force participation. If the number of participants in labor market programs increases temporarily by 100, the labor force increases by around 63 persons. The effect is temporary so the number of participants in the labor force returns to the old level in the next period. If the number of participants in programs is permanently increased, the labor force increases by around 70 persons. The results indicate that programs prevent labor force outflow because participants who would have left the labor force in the absence of programs are now participating because of the programs, Income and vacancies have positive long- and short-run effects on participation rate. Open unemployment, job destruction rate, and proportion of persons between ages 18-24 and 55-65 have negative long-run effects on the participation rate." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"This paper estimates the macroeconomic effect of labor market programs on labor force participation. Labor market programs could counteract business-cycle variation in the participation rate that is due to the discouraged-worker effect, and they could prevent labor force outflow. An equation that determines the participation rate is estimated with GMM, using panel data (1986-1998) for Sweden's municipalities. The results indicate that labor market programs have relatively large and positive effects on labor force participation. If the number of participants in labor market programs increases temporarily by 100, the labor force increases immediately by around 63 persons. The effect is temporary so the number of participants in the labor force returns to the old level in the next period. If the number of participants in programs is permanently increased, the labor force increases by about 70 persons in the long run. Programs are reducing the business-cycle variation in labor force participation because the effect is positive and programs are counter-cyclical and they counteract the discouraged-worker effect in the long run. The results indicate that programs could prevent labor force outflow; participants who would have left labor force in the absence of programs are may now be participating because of the programs. Wages and vacancies have positive long- and short-run effects on participation rate. Open unemployment, the job destruction rate, and proportions of persons between ages 18-24 and 55-65 have negative long run effects on the participation rate." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"This study uses a unique administrative database to evaluate employment training program effects on three samples of Swedish adult males. Alternative nonexperimental models suggest both positive and negative relationship between training and annual earnings. Model specification tests decisively reject the fixed-effect model, but not the random-growth model, which shows that specification tests can reject misspecified models. The chosen model predicts no effects or significantly negative earnings effects of the training program. One explanation for this result is that some participants may have enrolled in the program not for the purpose of making a human capital investment, but for the purpose of collecting unemployment insurance benefits."

Abstract
"Amongst the active labor market policy programs for the unemployed in Sweden, the vocational employment training program is the most ambitious and expensive. We analyze its effect on the individual transition rate from unemployment to employment using a unique set of administrative data and a novel empirical approach that exploits variation in the timing of training and exit to work. The approach involves the estimation of duration models, and it allows us to quantify the individual effect of training in the presence of selectivity on unobservables. The data contain the full population of unemployed in the period 1993-2000 and include multiple unemployment spells for many individuals. The results indicate a significantly positive effect on exit to work after exiting the program. Its magnitude is very large shortly after leaving the course but diminishes afterwards. If we also take account of the time spent in the program then the net effect of participation in the program on the mean unemployment duration is close to zero." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"This paper estimates the employment effects of the Swedish trainee replacement schemes (an active labour market program that was in operation during the 1990s). The empirical analysis exploits a large and rich administrative data set, and we control for observed and unobserved selection bias by using a multiple equation model and the maximum likelihood estimation method. The estimation results point at a selection of participants having a high ex ante probability of employment. In addition, the results suggest that participation in replacement schemes increased the re-employment probability by 5 to 10 percentage points." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Differential effects of Swedish active labour market progrmmes for unemployment adults during the 1990s (2002)

Sianesi, Barbara (2002): Differential effects of Swedish active labour market progrmmes for unemployment adults during the 1990s. (Institute for Labour Market Policy Evaluation. Working paper 2002,05), Uppsala, 52 S.
Abstract
"The paper evaluates the differential performance of the six main types of Swedish programmes that were available to adult unemployed workers entitled to unemployment benefits in the 1990s: labour market training, workplace introduction, work experience placement, relief work, trainee replacement and employment subsidies. On the basis of a large and particularly rich administrative dataset, propensity score multiple-treatment matching methods are applied to investigate the differential performance of the programmes both relative to one another and vis-à-vis more intense job search in open unemployment. Outcomes being assessed are short- and long-term employment rates as well as the probability of collecting unemployment benefits over time. Compared to waiting longer in open unemployment, all the programmes initially reduce their participants' employment probability in the short term (lock-in effect). Positive findings on more long term employment prospects are confined to job subsidies alone. Participation in trainee replacement makes no difference to deputies' subsequent labour market outcomes. Individuals joining any of the remaining programmes later display either the same (workplace introduction) or lower employment rates coupled with a higher benefit collection probability than if they had searched further as openly unemployed. A likely factor behind these disappointing results is the use of such types of programmes simply as a way to re-qualify for unemployment benefits. As to the pair-wise comparison of the six programmes, the central finding is again that the more similar a programme is to a regular job, the higher the programme's benefits to its participants, with employment subsidies by far the best performer, followed by trainee replacement. Several macroeconomic studies have however documented large and negative displacement and dead-weight effects for exactly these types of programme, which highlights the difficult trade-off faced by labour market policy."

Abstract
"This paper estimates the relative efficiency of eight Swedish labor market programs in reducing the employment duration for participants. The analyses uses a hazard regression model and a uniquely large and rich administrative data set that contains all adult workers who became unemployed during 1995-1997. We find that programs in which the participants obtain subsidized work experience and training provided by firms, have better outcome than classroom vocational training. The relative efficiency is similar across demographic and skill groups and independent of the timing of the placement. A careful examination of the assignment process to programs reveals no self-selection, but substantial administrative-selection. However, the administrative-selection appears to be unrelated to the outcome and, thus, should not bias the results." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"This book examines the effectiveness of active labour market policies and their contribution to the prevention of long-term unemployment and social exclusion. The evalution studies reported in this volume focus on two aspects of active labour market policies that have been relatively neglected in previous research and merit special attention. The first part of the book deals with aggregate impact analysis. Using examples from France, Germany, The Netherlands and Spain, the contributors attempt to estimate the impact of active labour market policies on the transition from unemployment to employment using aggregate data at the regional level. Although quantitative in nature, these contributions take into account qualitative aspects such as the socio-economic context of the countries concerned and the structure of active labour market policies. The book then focuses on implementation issues and includes implementation studies carried out in Germany, The Netherlands and Sweden. The qualitative element plays a far more important role in these contributions which rely on case studies and surveys in addition to statistical data." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Sianesi, Barbara (2001): An evaluation of the active labour market programmes in Sweden. (Office of Labour Market Policy Evaluation. Working paper 2001/05), Uppsala, 98 S.
Abstract
"The low unemployment rates traditionally enjoyed by Sweden have often been attributed to the country's extensive system of active labour market programmes, which have thus often been regarded as a model for other countries to emulate. The paper investigates the presence of short- and long-term treatment effects on a number of outcomes, including employment and unemployment benefit collection. Special attention is devoted to subsequent outcomes experienced by former participants, in particular to their job attachment and their performance should they fall back into unemployment. Finally, the distinctive feature of the Swedish labour market policy, whereby participation in programmes renews eligibility to generous unemployment compensation, is investigated in relation to the incentives it is likely to create to keep cycling between compensated unemployment spells and programme participation. The approach used is propensity score matching, with some additional analyses trying to account for a partially unobserved outcome variable due to misclassification problems in the data. Joining a programme as opposed to waiting longer in open unemployment appears on average to have a positive dynamic effect on participants' employment rates. The overall findings indicate however that the human capital-enhancing component of the programmes may not always be strong enough to outcompete the work disincentives provided by the system. Furthermore, even when cycling has been ruled out by focusing on individuals observed to exit their unemployment spell, programmes are found to have no effect on any of the outcomes considered."

"In dieser Evaluierungsstudie werden simultan die kausalen Effekte verschiedener Rehabilitationsmassnahmen auf die Wiedereingliederungsschancen in den Arbeitsmarkt geschätzt. Verwendet wird ein nichtparametrisches Matching-Verfahren zur Evaluierung multipler Programme. Die Untersuchung basiert auf einer Stichprobe von 6287 Langzeiterkrankten in Westschweden in den Jahren 1991 bis 1994. Die Ergebnisse zeigen einerseits, dass die Teilnahme an Rehabilitationsmassnahmen die registrierte Krankheitsdauer verlängert. Andererseits konnten keine positiven Wiedereingliederungseffekte rehabilitierender Massnahmen im Vergleich zur Nichtteilnahme gefunden werden. Unter den Rehabilitationsmassnahmen erscheint die berufsbezogene Arbeitsplatzrehabilitation am erfolgreichsten, während berufsbezogene Bildungsmassnahmen die Wiedereingliederungschancen in den Arbeitsmarkt deutlich reduzieren."

Abstract
"Decentralisation of decision-making in active labour market policy makes it possible to use local information to the fullest, but may also impinge on the fulfilment of national objectives, as suggested by principal-agent theory. The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of a Swedish pilot programme in 1996, which strengthened the role of the local authorities in labour market policy in parts of the country. Survey evidence suggests a non-negligible divergence between the objectives of the municipality representatives and the central government's goals. Regarding programme effects, our econometric findings do not indicate any increase in geographical lock-in of the unemployed, but decentralisation seems to spur local initiatives in the form of labour market programmes organised by the municipalities. In addition, targeting on outsiders is to some extent more common in municipal projects than in others." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"Hohe Teilnehmerzahlen sowie ein beträchtlicher Mitteleinsatz für arbeitsmarktpolitische Maßnahmen haben in den letzten Jahren zu einem gesteigerten Interesse an den Wirkungen aktiver Arbeitsmarktpolitik geführt. In dieser Literaturstudie wird daher danach gefragt, was sich nach dem aktuellen Stand der Evaluierungsforschung über die bisherige Wirksamkeit aktiver Arbeitsmarktpolitik in Deutschland sagen lässt. Welche Instrumente funktionieren für welche Personengruppen und welche Maßnahmengestaltung ist zu bevorzugen? Welche makroökonomischen Effekte hat die aktive Arbeitsmarktpolitik? Welche Erkenntnisse sind gesichert und welche Fragen lassen sich noch nicht beantworten? Auch die Erfahrungen in Schweden, Dänemark und den Niederlanden werden hinzugezogen, um gegebenenfalls nachahmenswerte Modelle beim Einsatz aktiver Arbeitsmarktpolitik zu identifizieren. Bei ebenfalls hohen Ausgaben für aktive Arbeitsmarktpolitik waren zumindest Dänemark und die Niederlande in den vergangenen Jahren beschäftigungspolitisch weit erfolgreicher als Deutschland. Allerdings war dafür neben der aktiven Arbeitsmarktpolitik eine jeweils spezifische Kombination u.a. aus arbeitsrechtlicher Regulierung, Tarifpolitik sowie ökonomischer Rahmenbedingungen verantwortlich, so dass sich ein Erfolgsmodell nicht ohne weiteres kopieren lässt."
