abolished the dependence of unemployment insurance benefits on the elapsed unemployment duration and simultaneously introduced … additional active labor market policy measures. The estimated effect of the reform on the survival function of the duration of … unemployment duration is positive and significant. Neglecting selectivity leads to an underestimation of the effects in absolute …

In their IZA Discussion Paper 10247, Johansson and Lee claim that the main result (Proposition 3) in Abbring and Van den Berg (2003b) does not hold. We show that their claim is incorrect. At a certain point within their line of reasoning, they make a rather basic error while transforming one...

We consider the problem of assessing the effects of a treatment on duration outcomes using data from a randomized … duration outcome, and noncompliance with the assigned treatment. Ignoring any of these issues could yield biased estimates of … duration. Our estimated bounds suggest that JC participation may increase the average duration of the last complete employment …

This paper develops a nonparametric methodology for treatment evaluation with multiple outcome periods under treatment endogeneity and missing outcomes. We use instrumental variables, pre-treatment characteristics, and short-term (or intermediate) outcomes to identify the average treatment...

Causal effects of a policy change on hazard rates of a duration outcome variable are not identified from a comparison … regression. In effect, we merge duration analysis and discontinuity analysis. We use the introduction of the NDYP program for …

This paper investigates the finite sample performance of a comprehensive set of semi- and nonparametric estimators for treatment and policy evaluation. In contrast to previous simulation studies which mostly considered semiparametric approaches relying on parametric propensity score estimation,...

In this paper, we specify and estimate a structurally dependent competing risks model for the transitions out of unemployment into either new job or recall. The recall probability is allowed to affect the search intensity for new jobs.
