Stuck in a trap? : long-term unemployment under two-tier unemployment compensation schemes

Nagl, Wolfgang; Weber, Michael - 2016

We empirically investigate how two-tier unemployment compensation schemes affect the profile of re-employment hazards. We exploit the aggravation of an existing two-tier scheme in Germany in 2005 and estimate its impact on re-employment rates at different durations. For the short-term...

Transitions in the German labor market : structure and crisis

Krause, Michael; Uhlig, Harald - 2011

Since the so-called Hartz IV reforms around 2005 and during the global crisis of 2008/2009, the German labor market featured mainly declining unemployment rates. We develop a search and matching model with heterogeneous skills to explore the role of structural and cyclical policies for this...

The aggregate effects of the Hartz reforms in Germany

Hertweck, Matthias S.; Sigrist, Oliver - 2013

This paper quantifies the impact of the Hartz reforms on matching efficiency, using monthly SOEP gross worker flows (1983-2009). We show that, until the early 2000s, close to 60% of changes in the unemployment rate are due to changes in the inflow rate (job separation). On the contrary, since...

Individual and market-level effects of UI policies : evidence from Missouri

Karahan, Fatih; Mitman, Kurt; Moore, Brendan - 2019

We develop a method to jointly measure the response of worker search effort (individual effect) and vacancy creation (market-level effect) to changes in the duration of unemployment insurance (UI) benefits. To implement this approach, we exploit an unexpected cut in UI durations in Missouri and...

Nonparametric instrumental variable methods for dynamic treatment evaluation

Berg, Gerard J. van den; Bonev, Petyo; Mammen, Enno - 2016

We develop a nonparametric instrumental variable approach for the estimation of average treatment effects on hazard rates and conditional survival probabilities, without model structure. We derive constructive identification proofs for average treatment effects under noncompliance and dynamic...

Labor market reforms, precautionary savings, and global imbalances

Hochmuth, Brigitte; Moyen, Stephane; Stähler, Nikolai - 2019

How do labor market reforms affect international competitiveness and net foreign assets? To answer this question, we build a two-region RBC model with labor market frictions, idiosyncratic consumption risk, and limited cross-sectional heterogeneity to establish a direct link between labor market...

Employment effects of the provision of specific professional skills and techniques in Germany

Fitzenberger, Bernd; Speckesser, Stefan - 2005

Based on unique administrative data, which has only recently become available, this paper estimates the employment effects of the most important type of public sector sponsored training in Germany, namely the provision of specific professional skills and techniques (SPST). Using the inflows into...
