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.

Murtin, Fabrice & Jean-Marc Robin (2018): Labor market reforms and unemployment dynamics. In: Labour economics, Jg. 50, H. March, S. 3-19. DOI:10.1016/j.labeco.2016.05.025
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))

Beschäftigtentransfer stärken!: Lehren aus einem internationalen Vergleich (2018)

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)

Risk-based selection in unemployment insurance: evidence and implications (2017)

Landais, Camille, Arash Nekoei, Peter Nilsson, David Seim & Johannes Spinnewijn (2017): Risk-based selection in unemployment insurance. Evidence and implications. (CEP discussion paper 1503), London, 69 S.
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))

Dynamic treatment assignment and evaluation of active labor market policies (2017)

Vikström, Johan (2017): Dynamic treatment assignment and evaluation of active labor market policies. In: Labour economics, Jg. 49, H. December, S. 42-54. DOI:10.1016/j.labeco.2017.09.003
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))

How long and how much? Learning about the design of wage subsidies from policy discontinuities (2015)

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))

The long-term earnings consequences of general vs. specific training of the unemployed (2015)
Zitatform
Stenberg, Anders & Olle Westerlund (2015): The long-term earnings consequences of general vs. specific training of the unemployed. In: IZA journal of European Labor Studies, Jg. 4, S. 1-26. DOI:10.1186/s40174-015-0047-9
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."

Back to work: Sweden: improving the re-employment prospects of displaced workers (2015)
Zitatform
(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."

Technical efficiency of Swedish employment offices (2014)
Zitatform
Andersson, Christian, Jonas Månsson & Krister Sund (2014): Technical efficiency of Swedish employment offices. In: Socio-Economic Planning Sciences, Jg. 48, H. 1, S. 57-64. DOI:10.1016/j.seps.2013.12.001
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."

Active inclusion as an organisational challenge: integrated anti-poverty policies in three European countries (2014)
Zitatform
Heidenreich, Martin, Norbert Petzold, Marcello Natili & Alexandru Panican (2014): Active inclusion as an organisational challenge. Integrated anti-poverty policies in three European countries. In: Journal of international and comparative social policy, Jg. 30, H. 2, S. 180-198. DOI:10.1080/21699763.2014.934901
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))

What active labor market policy works in a recession? (2011)
Zitatform
Forslund, Anders, Peter Fredriksson & Johan Vikström (2011): What active labor market policy works in a recession? (Institute for Labour Market Policy Evaluation. Working paper 2011,02), Uppsala, 39 S.
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;Zitatform
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))

Stimulating local public employment: do general grants work? (2010)

Lundqvist, Helene, Matz Dahlberg & Eva Mörk (2010): Stimulating local public employment. Do general grants work? (IZA discussion paper 5177), Bonn, 37 S.
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))
