    Caliendo, Marco, Robert Mahlstedt, Aiko Schmeißer & Sophie Wagner (2023): The Accuracy of Job Seekers' Wage Expectations. (arXiv papers), 49 S. DOI:10.48550/arXiv.2309.14044

    Abstract

    "Job seekers’ misperceptions about the labor market can distort their decision-making and increase the risk of long-term unemployment. Our study establishes objective benchmarks for the subjective wage expectations of unemployed workers. This enables us to provide novel insights into the accuracy of job seekers’ wage expectations. First, especially workers with low objective earnings potential tend to display excessively optimistic beliefs about their future wages and anchor their wage expectations too strongly to their pre-unemployment wages. Second, among long-term unemployed workers, overoptimism remains persistent throughout the unemployment spell. Third, higher extrinsic incentives to search more intensively lead job seekers to hold more optimistic wage expectations, yet this does not translate into higher realized wages for them. Lastly, we document a connection between overoptimistic wage expectations and job seekers’ tendency to overestimate their reemployment chances. We discuss the role of information frictions and motivated beliefs as potential sources of job seekers’ optimism and the heterogeneity in their beliefs." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    Benefit duration, job search behavior and re-employment (2021)

    Lichter, Andreas & Amelie Schiprowski (2021): Benefit duration, job search behavior and re-employment. In: Journal of Public Economics, Jg. 193. DOI:10.1016/j.jpubeco.2020.104326

    Abstract

    "This paper studies how the potential duration of unemployment benefits affects individuals’ job search behavior and re-employment outcomes. We exploit an unexpected reform of the German unemployment insurance scheme in 2008, which increased the potential benefit duration from 12 to 15 months for recipients of age 50 to 54. Based on detailed survey data and difference-in-differences techniques, we estimate that one additional month of benefits reduces the number of filed applications by around 10% on average over the first two months of unemployment. Treatment effects on the reservation wage are positive but statistically insignificant. In a complementary analysis, we use social security data to investigate how the reform affected re-employment outcomes. The difference-in-differences estimates yield an elasticity of 0.24 (0.1) additional months in unemployment (nonemployment) per additional month of potential benefits. A cautious back-of-the-envelope calculation reveals substantial returns to early search effort." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    New evidence on long-term effects of start-up subsidies: Matching estimates and their robustness (2019)

    Caliendo, Marco & Stefan Tübbicke (2019): New evidence on long-term effects of start-up subsidies. Matching estimates and their robustness. (IZA discussion paper 12261), Bonn, 41 S. DOI:10.1007/s00181-019-01701-9

    Abstract

    "The German start-up subsidy (SUS) program for the unemployed has recently undergone a major make-over, altering its institutional setup, adding an additional layer of selection and leading to ambiguous predictions of the program's effectiveness. Using propensity score matching (PSM) as our main empirical approach, we provide estimates of long-term effects of the post-reform subsidy on individual employment prospects and labor market earnings up to 40 months after entering the program. Our results suggest large and persistent longterm effects of the subsidy on employment probabilities and net earned income. These effects are larger than what was estimated for the pre-reform program. Extensive sensitivity analyses within the standard PSM framework reveal that the results are robust to different choices regarding the implementation of the weighting procedure and also with respect to deviations from the conditional independence assumption. As a further assessment of the results' sensitivity, we go beyond the standard selection-on-observables approach and employ an instrumental variable setup using regional variation in the likelihood of receiving treatment. Here, we exploit the fact that the reform increased the discretionary power of local employment agencies in allocating active labor market policy funds, allowing us to obtain a measure of local preferences for SUS as the program of choice. The results based on this approach give rise to similar estimates. Thus, our results indicating that SUS are still an effective active labor market program after the reform do not appear to be driven by 'hidden bias'." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

    The duration and wage effects of long-term unemployment benefits: evidence from Germany's Hartz IV reform (2018)

    Price, Brendan (2018): The duration and wage effects of long-term unemployment benefits. Evidence from Germany's Hartz IV reform. (MIT economics. Job market paper), Cambridge, 69 S.

    Abstract

    Many displaced workers exhaust their initial stream of unemployment insurance benefits (UI). I analyze Germany's 2005 Hartz IV reform, which reduced the generosity of long-term unemployment assistance available once these initial benefits run out. Using administrative data on UI claimants, I exploit cross-cohort and within-cohort heterogeneity in the timing of Hartz IV's effective onset to estimate how long- term-benefit reductions effect jobless durations, subsequent wages, and job characteristics. The hazard rate of reemployment rises steadily in the months before benefit cuts bind, culminating in a much larger spike at initial benefit exhaustion than was evident before the reform. I find that a worker subject to the new benefit schedule is 12.4 percent less likely to experience a one-year jobless spell. Conditional on completed jobless duration, workers who accept jobs after exhausting their initial entitlements earn 4 to 8 percent lower wages than they would have absent the reform. Averaging across completed durations, and accounting for offsetting wage gains due to shorter spells, I conclude that UI reform had at most a slight impact on mean reemployment wages: my estimates allow me to rule out wage declines exceeding 1.5 percent or increases exceeding 1.8 percent. Hartz IV diverted claimants from low-paid mini-jobs" that often supplement UI receipt: net employment gains are driven by full-time jobs. Hartz IV's direct effects on individual job-finding if not offset by general equilibrium forces may have lowered Germany's steady-state unemployment rate by 0.9 percentage points.

    Home-ownership, unemployed's job search behavior and post-unemployment outcomes (2015)

    Caliendo, Marco, Anne C. Gielen & Robert Mahlstedt (2015): Home-ownership, unemployed's job search behavior and post-unemployment outcomes. (IZA discussion paper 8972), Bonn, 15 S.

    Abstract

    "Although home-ownership has been shown to restrict geographic labor mobility and to affect job search behavior of unemployed, there is no evidence so far on how it affects their future re-employment outcomes. We use two waves of detailed German survey data of newly unemployed individuals to study the effect of home-ownership on the job search behavior of unemployed and their re-employment outcomes. We show that unemployed who own a home are less willing to move and also less likely to apply for jobs for which one would have to move. However, we do not find any evidence for compensations of their restricted mobility by more intensive (more search channels or applications) or different (more active or informal) search behavior. Furthermore, we find that home-ownership does not seem to harm the employment prospects of the unemployed. Although the re-employment probability in the short-run is slightly lower, we find that after one year home-owning unemployed have found better re-employment jobs, in terms of wages and job satisfaction, than their renting counterparts."
