Langzeitarbeitslosigkeit in Deutschland : Fakten, Ursachen und Bekämpfung

This paper deals with long-term unemployment from the perspective of recent contributions to the topic. We present recent empirical facts and results from the labor economics literature with a focus on Germany as well as new arguments from the macro literature. We also evaluate potential measures against long-term unemployment in the light of the recent literature. We conclude that most of the literature does not offer reliable quantitative policy conclusions. -- long-term unemployment
