A nonparametric method for predicting survival probabilities
Klaauw, Bas van der; Vriend, Sandra - 2015
Public programs often use statistical profiling to assess the risk that applicants will become long-term dependent on the program. The literature uses linear probability models and (Cox) proportional hazard models to predict duration outcomes. These either focus on one threshold duration or...

Business cycles and compositional variation in US unemployment
Abbring, Jaap H.; Berg, Gerard J. van den; Ours, Jan C. van - 1997
In the past decades several features of U.S. unemployment dynamics have been investigated empirically. The original focus of research was on the duration of unemployment. In later studies the cyclicality of incidence and duration, compositional effects and duration dependence of the exit rate...

Comparing econometric methods to empirically evaluate job-search assistance
Muller, Paul; Klaauw, Bas van der; Heyma, Arjan - 2017
We test whether different empirical methods give different results when evaluating job-search assistance programs. Budgetary problems at the Dutch unemployment insurance (UI) administration in March 2010, caused a sharp drop in the availability of these programs. Using administrative data...

Income satisfaction inequality and its causes
Ferrer-i-Carbonell, Ada; Praag, Bernard M. S. van - 2001
In this paper, the concept of Income Satisfaction Inequality is operationalized on the basis of individual responses to … analogue of the objective income concept and includes objective income inequality as a special case. The paper introduces a … method to decompose Income Satisfaction Inequality according to the contributions from variables such as income, education …

Homeownership and labour market behaviour : interpreting the evidence
Rouwendal, Jan; Nijkamp, Peter - 2008 - This version: November 3, 2008
This paper reviews the empirical research that has been generated by Oswald’s thesis, which claims that there is a causal relationship from homeownership to unemployment. The literature confirms a decreasing effect of homeownership on geographical mobility of workers, but does not in general...

The relationship between entrepreneurship and unemployment in Japan
Stel, Adriaan J. van; Thurik, Adriaan R.; Verheul, Ingrid; … - 2008
This paper examines the relationship between entrepreneurship (as measured by fluctuations in the business ownership rate) and unemployment in Japan for the period between 1972 and 2002. We find that, although Japan’s unemployment rate has been influenced by specific exogenous shocks, the...

Structural estimation of search intensity : do non-employed workers search enough?
Gautier, Pieter; Moraga-González, José Luis; … - 2007
We present a structural framework for the evaluation of public policies intended to increase job search intensity. Most of the literature defines search intensity as a scalar that influences the arrival rate of job offers; here we treat it as the number of job applications that workers send out....

Corporate tax policy and unemployment in Europe : an applied general equilibrium analysis
Bettendorf, Leon; Horst, Albert van der; Mooij, Ruud A. de - 2007
This paper analyzes the impact of corporate taxes on structural unemployment, using an applied general equilibrium model for the European Union. We find that the unemployment and welfare effects of corporate taxes differ considerably among European countries. The magnitude of these effects rise...

Combining micro and macro unemployment duration data
Berg, Gerard J. van den; Klaauw, Bas van der - 1998
We combine micro and macro unemployment duration data to study the effects of the business cycle on the outflow from unemployment. We allow the cycle to affect individual exit probabilities of unemployed workers as well as the composition of the total inflow into unemployment. We estimate the...

The non-parametric identification of lagged duration dependence
Frijters, Paul - 2000
In this paper, I consider the identification of lagged durationdependence in multiple spells without using the assumtion that there are additionalregressors orthogonal to the individual effects. The non-parametricidentification strategy is applied to the multiple non-employment spells of 2066...
