The distribution of unemployment duration in our equilibrium matching model with spell-dependent unemployment benefits displays a time-varying exit rate. Building on Semi-Markov processes, we translate these exit rates into an expression for the aggregate unemployment rate. Structural estimation...

Im Jahr 2000 wurden mit der Einführung von Arbeitslosengeld II (ALG II) die Sanktionsmöglichkeiten gegenüber ALG II-Empfängern verschärft. Der Beitrag untersucht die Auswirkung einer solchen ALG II-Sanktion auf den Reservationslohn sanktionierter ALG II-Empfänger. Empirisch sind die...

This paper shows empirically that the non-employment effects of unemployment insurance (UI) for older workers depend in a first-order way on the structure of retirement policies. Using German data, we first present reduced-form evidence of these interactions, documenting large bunching in UI...

This paper evaluates the effects of job creation schemes on the participating individuals in Germany. Since previous empirical studies of these measures have been based on relatively small datasets and focussed on East Germany, this is the first study which allows to draw policy-relevant...
