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.

    Abstract

    "Der Eingliederungszuschuss soll Arbeitsuchenden den Weg in eine sozialversicherungspflichtige Beschäftigung ebnen. Tatsächlich deuten viele Studien auf verbesserte Beschäftigungschancen für Geförderte hin. Gleichwohl sollte das Instrument behutsam eingesetzt werden, um unnötige Mitnahmeeffekte zu vermeiden."

In: IAB-Forum H. 02.02.2023 Nürnberg. DOI:10.48720/IAB.FOO.20230202.01

    Abstract

    "Arbeitsmarktpolitische Instrumente kommen auch bei der Integration von Geflüchteten zum Einsatz. Das IAB hat ihre Wirkung für eine Gruppe von Geflüchteten untersucht, die zwischen August 2017 und September 2018 über Eingliederungszuschüsse und Arbeitsgelegenheiten gefördert wurden. Erstere sollen vor allem die Beschäftigungschancen der Geförderten auf dem ersten Arbeitsmarkt steigern. Letztere zielen primär darauf ab, deren soziale Teilhabe zu verbessern. Die beabsichtigte Wirkung wird beim Eingliederungszuschuss deutlich besser erreicht als bei den Arbeitsgelegenheiten." (Autorenreferat, IAB-Doku)

Ratner, Daniel Villar Vallenas & Ahu Yildirmaz (2022): The $800 Billion Paycheck Protection Program: Where Did the Money Go and Why Did it Go There? (NBER working paper 29669), Cambridge, Mass, 46 S. DOI:10.3386/w29669

    Abstract

    "The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) provided small businesses with roughly $800 billion dollars in uncollateralized, low-interest loans during the pandemic, almost all of which will be forgiven. With 93 percent of small businesses ultimately receiving one or more loans, the PPP nearly saturated its market in just two months. We estimate that the program cumulatively preserved between 2 and 3 million job-years of employment over 14 months at a cost of $170K to $257K per job-year retained. These estimates imply that only 23 to 34 percent of PPP dollars went directly to workers who would otherwise have lost jobs; the balance flowed to business owners and shareholders, including creditors and suppliers of PPP-receiving firms. Program incidence was highly regressive, with about three-quarters of PPP funds accruing to the top quintile of households. This compares unfavorably to the other two major pandemic aid programs, enhanced UI benefits and Economic Impact Payments (i.e. stimulus checks). PPP's breakneck scale-up, its high cost per job saved, and its regressive incidence have a common origin: PPP was essentially untargeted because the United States lacked the administrative infrastructure to do otherwise. The more targeted pandemic business aid programs deployed by other high-income countries exemplify what is feasible with better administrative systems. Building similar capacity in the U.S. would enable greatly improved targeting of either employment subsidies or business liquidity when the next pandemic or other large-scale economic emergency occurs, as it surely will."

    Burger, Anže, Jochen Kluve, Milan Vodopivec & Matija Vodopivec (2022): A comprehensive impact evaluation of active labour market programmes in Slovenia. In: Empirical economics, Jg. 62, H. 6, S. 3015-3039. DOI:10.1007/s00181-021-02111-6

    Abstract

    "Using administrative database containing work history and programme participation for the entire national workforce, the paper evaluates Slovenia's four main active labour market programmes: institutional training, on-the-job training, wage subsidies and public works. The studied outcomes range from post-unemployment employment probability and job quality to cumulative effects on employment and earnings over the longer run, and also include programmes' cost-effectiveness. We identify programme effects by comparing outcomes of treatment and control groups using propensity score matching. The results show that the programmes perform rather well judged both by their impact on labour market outcomes and by their cost-effectiveness: except for public works, all programmes are found to have a net benefit in terms of government expenditures. Our results are robust to time-invariant unobserved heterogeneity in the treatment and control groups, as we corroborate the baseline propensity score matching results with a difference-in-difference estimator."

    The Lock-in Effects of Part-Time Unemployment Benefits (2021)

    Benghalem, Helène, Pierre Cahuc & Pierre Villedieu (2021): The Lock-in Effects of Part-Time Unemployment Benefits. (IZA discussion paper 14189), Bonn, 76 S.

    Abstract

    "We ran a large randomized controlled experiment among about 150,000 recipients of unemployment benefits insurance in France in order to evaluate the impact of part-time unemployment benefits. We took advantage of the lack of knowledge of job seekers regarding this program and sent emails presenting the program. The information provision had a significant positive impact on the propensity to work while on claim, but reduced the unemployment exit rate, showing important lock-in effects into unemployment associated with part-time unemployment benefits. The importance of these lock-in effects implies that decreasing the marginal tax rate on earnings from work while on claim in the neighborhood of its current level does not increase labor supply and increases the expenditure net of taxes of the unemployment insurance agency."

    Jung, Euiyoung (2021): On the design of labor market programs as stabilization policies. (PSE working paper / Paris School of Economics 2021-36), Paris, 81 S.

    Abstract

    "This paper analyzes the optimal cyclical behavior of labor market policies in an economy with asset and labor market frictions. The policies of interest include unemployment insurance (UI) and employment protection (EP). In addition to their supply-side effects, labor market policies affect the aggregate demand via earning risk and redistribution channels. Under bilateral wage bargaining, I find that procyclical UI and countercyclical EP deliver superior welfare outcomes through stabilization via both supply and demand channels."

    Armand, Alex, Pedro Carneiro, Pedro Carneiro & Yiming Xia (2020): Can Subsidized Employment Tackle Long-Term Unemployment? Experimental Evidence from North Macedonia. (IZA discussion paper 13478), 66 S.

    Abstract

    "This paper examines the impact of an experiment in North Macedonia in which vulnerable unemployed individuals applying to a subsidized employment program were randomly selected to attend job interviews. Employers hiring a new employee from the target population receive a subsidy covering the wage cost of the worker for the first six months. Using administrative employment data, we find that attending the job interview led to an increase of 15 percentage points in the likelihood of being employed 3.5 years after the start of the intervention. We also find positive and statistically significant effects on individuals' non-cognitive and work-related skills." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Subsidizing wages or supplementing transfers?: the politics and ambiguity of in-work benefits (2020)

    Clasen, Jochen (2020): Subsidizing wages or supplementing transfers? The politics and ambiguity of in-work benefits. In: Social policy and administration, Jg. 54, H. 1, S. 1-13. DOI:10.1111/spol.12488

    Abstract

    "In-work benefits (IWB) have become mainstream social policy programmes in modern welfare states. Aimed at employment promotion as well as poverty reduction, their introduction and expansion have been supported by both centre-right and centre-left governments. However, the article argues that policy positions towards IWB are essentially unstable. Political preferences can alter fast, with the same actors advocating IWB growth at one time and containment at another. In part, this is influenced not only by prevailing socio-economic conditions but also by the institutional shape of IWBs, their interaction with complementary policies, and their inherently ambiguous nature. Characterized by multiple aims, IWBs occasionally offer political opportunities but often create challenges and even confound policymaking. Thus, the understanding of the politics of IWB requires a careful consideration of the particular properties of concrete IWBs and the ways in which they relate to other policy arenas. The article discusses this with reference to relevant debates and reforms in Germany." (Author's abstract, Published by arrangement with John Wiley & Sons) ((en))

    Abstract

    "Die einzelnen Kapitel des Buchs behandeln die Kontexteffekte, die lateralen Bezüge und die endogenen Ursachen gegenwärtiger System- und Krisenprozesse mit dem Ziel, den Möglichkeitssinn relevanter Akteure aus Wissenschaft, Politik und Gesellschaft zu schärfen. Auf der Basis profunder Analysen der strukturellen wie auch normativen Verfasstheit sowie der intelligenten Re-/Konstruierbarkeit der Arbeits-, Gesundheits- und Finanzmärkte entfaltet Philipp Hessinger seine grundlegende Idee: dass aktuelle Krisen und scheiternde Reformprojekte auch Ausdruck und Folge innerer Blockaden des gesellschaftlichen Möglichkeitsreichtums sind - und genau diesen Möglichkeitsreichtum sucht er zu bergen."

    Abstract

    "Asking whether social policies can alter the experience of unemployment, this article systematically evaluates whether participation in active labour market policies (ALMPs) influences the well-being of the unemployed. With consistently high unemployment rates in Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries, scholars have started to examine the impact of ALMP schemes on a variety of tangible economic outcomes, but place little focus on their sociological and psychological impacts. Using a novel panel survey, the IZA Evaluation Dataset, I employ a propensity score matching approach combined with difference-in-differences to address selection on both observables and unobservables. Consistent with my theoretical predictions, I find evidence that ALMP programmes that are most like regular employment, namely wage subsidies and subsidized self-employment, have the strongest impact on the well-being of the unemployed. Looking at regional and gender differences indicates interesting effect heterogeneity." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Yerkes, Mara A. & Leydi Johana van den Braken (2019): The ambiguity of social return policies in the Netherlands. In: Social policy and administration, Jg. 53, H. 1, S. 113-127. DOI:10.1111/spol.12409

    Abstract

    "Social procurement policies, which aim to create employment opportunities for vulnerable groups, such as the long-term unemployed and the disabled, have become increasingly popular in recent years. Despite their growing popularity, empirical research on this topic is limited. Combining insights from the social policy and public administration literatures, we explore the development and implementation of 'social return' policies by the Dutch government. These policies are a form of social procurement that require private employers to spend a percentage of public tenders to hire individuals far removed from the labor market. Social procurement appears, by definition, to be a form of social investment. However, our analysis of the ideas underlying its use in the Netherlands suggests that significant contradictions exist, with evidence of neoliberal New Public Management tendencies, social investment, and the more recent form of public administration, New Public Service. Using extensive document analysis of parliamentary documents, discussions and evaluative reports from 2008 to 2014, we reveal the tensions inherent in the Dutch approach and discuss possible implications for our understanding of social policy and administration as well as social protection."

    Abstract

    "We study the role of notifications in the evaluation of training programs for unemployed workers. Using a unique administrative data set containing the dates when information is exchanged between job seekers and caseworkers, we address three questions: Do information shocks, such as notification of future training, have an effect on unemployment duration? What is the joint effect of notification and training programs on unemployment? Can ignoring information shocks lead to a large bias in the estimation of the effect of training programs? We discuss these issues through the lens of a job search model and then conduct an empirical analysis following a 'random effects' approach to deal with selectivity. We find that notification has a strong positive effect on the training probability but a negative one on the probability of leaving unemployment. This 'attraction' effect highlights the importance of accounting for notifications in the evaluation of active labor market policies."

    Abstract

    "Der Mauerfall und die rasche Einführung der Marktwirtschaft waren für die Wirtschaft der ehemaligen DDR ein beispielloser Schock. Der nachfolgende Umbau von der Zentralverwaltungs- zur Marktwirtschaft war mit einer außerordentlich starken Beschäftigungsdynamik verbunden. Insbesondere in den 1990er Jahren übertraf der Osten den Westen sowohl beim Aufbau als auch beim Abbau von Stellen deutlich. Mittlerweile sind diese Unterschiede weitgehend verschwunden."

    Abstract

    "In the past twenty years, supranational employment policy cooperation in the European Union has increased significantly. Whereas plenty of programs on numerous employment-related issues were established, cooperation between the member states predominantly occurs on a voluntary basis. Monitoring is conducted via instruments like peer reviews, benchmarking and mutual learning in the formal framework of the European Semester. With regard to designing and evaluating common activities, various EU institutions strongly rely on internal and external research-based policy advice." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    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))

    Benefit reform for employment and equal opportunity in Finland (2018)

    Pareliussen, Jon Kristian & Hyunjeong Hwang (2018): Benefit reform for employment and equal opportunity in Finland. (OECD Economics Department working papers 1467), Paris, 39 S. DOI:10.1787/26e12903-en

    Abstract

    "The combination of different working-age benefits, childcare costs and income taxation creates complexity, reduces work incentives and holds back employment. Major disincentives in Finland are related to tapering rules for unemployment benefits, social assistance and the housing benefit, the extended unemployment benefit for older workers, the childcare fee structure and the homecare allowance. Improved benefit design combined with efficient activation policies can reduce complexity and remove the strongest disincentives while minimising adverse fiscal and social impacts. Replacing current benefits with a basic income would improve incentives for many, but with a drastic redistribution of income and likely increasing poverty as a result. Merging working-age benefits with similar aims and coordinating their tapering against earnings would on the other hand consistently improve work incentives and transparency, while preserving social protection. Once the new income registry comes online, linking benefit payments to real-time incomes, combined with strengthened work incentives, would make for a truly efficient and inclusive benefit system, fit for the future of work. This Working Paper relates to the 2018 OECD Economic Survey of Finland" (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Abstract

    "Der Einführung des Bundesprogramms Kommunal-Kombi lag die Idee zugrunde, fehlende Arbeitsplätze in strukturschwachen Regionen durch öffentlich geförderte Beschäftigung auszugleichen und gerade für solche Langzeitarbeitslose eine Beschäftigung zu schaffen, denen trotz guter allgemeiner Arbeitsmarktentwicklung aus strukturellen Gründen der Wiedereinstieg in den Arbeitsmarkt versagt blieb. Das Bundesprogramm Kommunal-Kombi startete am 1. Januar 2008.
    Anders als bei den beiden späteren Bundesprogrammen 'Bürgerarbeit' und 'Soziale Teilhabe' wurde beim Kommunal-Kombi kein Auftrag an die Bundesagentur für Arbeit erteilt, das Programm statistisch zu erfassen. Entsprechend liegen zum Kommunal-Kombi nur die Daten vor, die für das Monitoring der Bewilligung der Förderung und für die programmbegleitende Evaluation erforderlich waren. Aufgrund dessen ist die Beantwortung vieler Fragen in der hier vorliegenden Kleinen Anfrage nur sehr beschränkt oder gar nicht möglich." (Textauszug, (IAB-Doku))

    Abstract

    "Reducing labour taxes or offering incentives to hire new workers could motivate employers to either retain staff who might otherwise have been let go or to create new jobs. Since the onset of the financial crisis in 2008, both types of measure have been deployed in many EU Member States. This report reviews the effectiveness of measures designed to reduce the employer part of the tax wedge in an effort to stimulate positive labour market outcomes. It provides an overview of the reforms adopted since 2008 across the EU Member States to stimulate labour demand, focusing on policies aimed at reducing the cost of labour for employers. It analyses the effectiveness of shifts in employer social security contributions, employer payroll taxes and functionally equivalent employer incentives as employment-generating policy interventions. The findings show mixed evidence of positive employment effects from relevant policy reforms but suggest that measures targeted at specific groups of workers are more likely to be successful."

    "Die Arbeitslosigkeit in Deutschland konnte in den letzten 10 Jahren zwar deutlich abgebaut werden. Dennoch stellen die Ziele der Arbeitsförderung weiterhin hohe Anforderungen an Politik und Arbeitsverwaltung. Neben den Vermittlungsaktivitäten nimmt die aktive Arbeitsmarktpolitik dabei einen großen Stellenwert ein. Für die Zugangskohorten der Jahre 2011 und 2012 wird mit der Wirkungsanalyse TrEffeR ('Treatment Effects and Prediction') überprüft, wie wirksam ausgewählte arbeitsmarktpolitische Maßnahmen im Rechtskreis SGB III für die Geförderten ein bzw. zwei Jahre nach Förderbeginn waren."
