Persistently high unemployment, tight government budgets and the growing scepticism regarding the effects of active labour market policies (ALMP) are the basis for a growing interest in evaluating these measures. This paper intends to explain the need for evaluation on the micro- and...

This paper shows that a search and matching model with idiosyncratic training cost shocks can explain the asymmetric … movement of the job-finding rate over the business cycle and the decline of matching efficiency in recessions. Large negative … tightness. Our model explains a large fraction of the matching efficiency decline during the Great Recession and generates state …

We develop a tractable macroeconomic model with employment risk and labor market search in order evaluate the effects of labor market reform on unemployment, growth, and welfare. The model has a large number of risk-averse households who can invest in risk-free physical capital and risky human...
