The Labor Market Effects of US Reemployment Policy: Lessons from an Analysis of Four Programs during the Great Recession
研究了大衰退期间美国四项针对失业保险领取者的再就业计划，发现所有计划都缩短了失业保险领取时间、节省了成本并提高了就业率，其中结合资格审核和求职咨询的计划效果最佳。
We present experimental evidence on four US reemployment programs targeting unemployment insurance (UI) recipients during the Great Recession. All programs reduced UI spells, produced UI savings that exceeded program costs, and increased employment rates. The services referral program had the smallest effects, occurring because of voluntary UI exits by participants to avoid requirements. The two programs reviewing participants’ UI eligibility produced greater effects because they induced voluntary exits and disqualified participants who did not meet UI requirements. The program requiring participation in both eligibility review and job-counseling services was the most effective, suggesting that services improved participants’ job search efforts.
