A Microeconometric Evaluation of the Active Labour Market Policy in Switzerland
利用瑞士行政数据，评估了1990年代末积极劳动力市场政策对个人就业概率的影响，发现临时工作工资补贴有正面效果，而传统庇护就业项目效果为负，培训课程效果不一。
In the late 1990s, Switzerland introduced an ambitious active labour market policy (ALMP) encompassing several programmes. We evaluate their effects on the individual employment probability using unusually informative data from administrative records. Using a matching estimator for multiple programmes, we find positive effects for one particular programme unique to the Swiss ALMP. It consists of a wage subsidy for temporary jobs in the regular labour market that would otherwise not be taken up by the unemployed. We also find negative effects for traditional employment programmes operated in sheltered labour markets. For training courses, the results are mixed. Copyright Royal Economic Society 2002
