A hiring subsidy for long-term unemployed in a search model with PES and random search
Jahn, Elke J.; Wagner, Thomas - 2002
Our search model combines two search methods, the public employment service (PES) and random search. The separation rate is endogenous, the job matching process consists of three rounds. In the first and the second respectively the short-term (STU) and the long-term unemployed (LTU) randomly...

How long and how much? : learning about the design of wage subsidies from policy discontinuities
Sjögren, Anna; Vikström, Johan - 2013
Employment and wage subsidies are used to combat long-term unemployment, yet there is little research to guide the design of such programs. Discontinuities in the design and implementation of wage subsidies under the Swedish New Start Jobs-policy allow us to study effects of both subsidy rate...

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...

Unemployment duration : competing and defective risks
Addison, John T.; Portugal, Pedro - 2001
This paper examines the determinants of unemployment duration in a competing risks framework with two destination states, namely, inactivity and employment. The major innovation is our recognition of defective risks. We first use a polynomial hazard function to test for the presence of...

Long-Term Unemployment and Convexity in the Phillips Curve
Speigner, Bradley - 2014
The notion that the long-term unemployed are relatively detached from the labour market and therefore exert only little downward pressure on wage inflation has regained significant traction recently. This paper investigates whether the conclusion that long-term unemployment is only weakly...

Skill loss, ranking of job applicants, and the dynamics of unemployment
Eriksson, Stefan - 2001
This paper investigates the consequences of skill loss as a result of unemployment in an efficiency wage model with turnover costs and on-the-job search. Firms are unable to differentiate wages and therefore prefer to hire employed searchers or unemployed workers who have not lost human capital....
