The aggregate effects of the Hartz reforms in Germany : conference paper
Hertweck, Matthias Sebastian; Sigrist, Oliver - 2013
This paper quantifies the impact of the Hartz reforms on matching efficiency, using monthly SOEP gross worker flows … the outflow rate (job finding) has been steadily increasing. This indicates that matching efficiency has improved … substantially in recent years. Results from an estimated matching function - pointing to efficiency gains of more than 20 …

Conditional patterns of unemployment dynamics in Germany : conference paper
Nordmeier, Daniela; Weber, Enzo - 2013
This paper studies the conditional patterns of unemployment dynamics in Germany. We employ a structural VAR model and identify a technology shock and two policy shocks by using standard restrictions. Interestingly, the worker reallocation process varies substantially with the identified shocks....

Expansionary and contractionary technology improvements : conference paper
Balleer, Almut; Enders, Zeno - 2013 - Preliminary and incomplete
This paper examines the effects of expansionary technology shocks (shocks that increase labor productivity and factor inputs) as opposed to contractionary technology shocks (shocks that increase labor productivity, but decrease factor inputs). We estimate these two shocks jointly based on a...

Does short-time work save jobs? : a business cycle analysis ; conference paper
Balleer, Almut; Gehrke, Britta; Lechthaler, Wolfgang; … - 2013
This paper analyzes the effects of short-time work (i.e., government subsidized working time reductions) on unemployment and output fluctuations. The central question is whether short-time work saves jobs in recessions. In our baseline scenario the rule based component of short-time work (i.e.,...

Simultaneous search and network efficiency : conference paper
Gautier, Pieter; Holzner, Christian - 2013
When workers send applications to vacancies they create a bipartite network. Coordination frictions arise if workers …. Only wage mechanisms that allow for ex post competition generate the maximum matching on a realized network. We show that … random search with ex post competition in wages leads to the maximum number of matches and is socially efficient in terms of …

Decomposing Beveridge curve dynamics by correlated unobserved components : the impact of labour market reforms in Germany ; conference paper
Klinger, Sabine; Weber, Enzo - 2014
theory to a flexible unobserved components model: we disentangle permanent and transitory components of matching efficiency … and separation rate as well as unemployment and vacancies. Cointegration and identification are addressed. We find that … matching efficiency and separation rate each account for about half of the inward shift. Thereby, the increase in trend …
