Counseling and Monitoring of Unemployed Workers: Theory and Evidence from a Controlled Social Experiment
van den Berg, Gerard J.; van der Klaauw, Bas - 2001
We investigate the effect of counseling and monitoring on the individual transition rate to employment. We theoretically analyze these policies in a job search model with two search channels and endogenous search effort. In the empirical analysis we use unique administrative and survey data...
