The Effect of Unemployment Insurance Sanctions on the Transition Rate from Unemployment to Employment
利用荷兰1992年失业保险申领者的行政数据，发现制裁（削减福利）显著提高了个人再就业率，但需校正选择性偏差。
Sanctions or punitive benefits reductions are increasingly used as a tool to enforce compliance of unemployment insurance claimants with search requirements. This article analyses sanctions using a unique administrative data set of individuals who started collecting unemployment insurance in the Netherlands in 1992. After correction for selectivity in the imposition of sanctions, we find that sanctions substantially raise individual re-employment rates. Copyright 2005 Royal Economic Society.
