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 (1983-2009). We show that, until the early 2000s, close to 60% of changes in the unemployment rate are due to changes in the inflow rate (job separation). On the contrary, since...

Klinger, Sabine; Weber, Enzo - 2014

Between 1979 and 2009, the German labour market moved along a Beveridge curve with changing slope that used to shift outwards but shifted inwards after severe labour market reforms had come into force. We analyse these dynamics and focus on the macroeconomic outcome of the reforms. For that...

The evaluation of start-up subsidies for the unemployed and the role of unobserved characteristics for matching estimators : conference paper

Caliendo, Marco; Künn, Steffen; Weißenberger, Martin - 2013 - Preliminary draft

Start-up subsidies for the unemployed have become an important part of Active Labor Market Policy (ALMP) in many countries. Previous evaluation results show pre-dominantly (very) positive results indicating that these programs are an effective way to increase employment probabilities and income...

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 and firms only observe their own links. We show that those frictions and the wage mechanism are in general not independent. Only wage mechanisms that allow for ex post competition...
