Arni, Patrick - 2015

Empirically, not much is known about the mechanisms how labor market programs like job search assistance and training operate to support finding a job. This paper provides novel evidence to open the "blackbox": it causally links the program interventions to the dynamics of search behavior,...

Do start-up subsidies for the unemployed affect participants' well-being? : a rigorous look at (un-)intended consequences of labor market policies

Caliendo, Marco; Tübbicke, Stefan - 2019

We estimate the long-term effects of start-up subsidies (SUS) for the unemployed on subjective outcome indicators of well-being, as measured by the participants' satisfaction in different domains. This extends previous analyses of the current German SUS program ("Gründungszuschuss") that...
