“…They come to the conclusion that participants experience lock-in effects for more than three years, but 48 months after the start of retraining they have a higher employment probability of 8 percentage points than non-participants and also significantly higher monthly earnings. They also find that retraining performs better than shorter courses and that low-skilled benefit most from receiving a training voucher (although this group has a lower redemption probability, see Kruppe, 2009 , and retraining might have different effects for these hard-to-place job-seekers. Bernhard and Kruppe (2012) analyse the effects of training for participants according to SGB II and find positive effects on the employment rate of participants of up to 13 percentage points.…”

“…This could have affected access to training, because caseworkers had a strong incentive to give vouchers to people with a high reemployment probability, which implies cream skimming effects (Rinne et al, 2013). Besides, it is also likely that unemployed who are far from the labour market are disadvantaged when it comes to the redemption of the training voucher, e.g., because of a lack of information with regard to course offers and greater difficulties to inform themselves about suitable courses (Kruppe, 2009). Unemployed without a vocational degree may belong to this group and selection effects induced by the reforms may well affect the effectiveness of retraining.…”

We use German registry data and apply statistical matching methods. The results show that on average, after a period with strong lock-in effects, retraining increases the employment probability of women by more than 20 percentage points. Effects for male participants are somewhat weaker. Although we find differences in the effectiveness of retraining by target occupations, these differences cannot completely explain the observed gender differences. Healthcare occupations, which are the most important target occupations especially of female participants, are among those with the strongest effects. Despite differences between occupational fields, retraining in most of the considered occupations positively affects employment prospects of participants. Finally, sorting into different occupations seems to be present, as participants with different target professions also differ in their observable characteristics.JEL: J24, J68, C14

“…Furthermore, the provider must be willing to sign in the holder of the voucher. Kruppe (2009) shows that hard-to-place unemployed (i) receive a voucher less often, and (ii) make use of the voucher less often. Participation in a short firm-external training program will be often suggested by the caseworker and then conducted by providers (Kurtz, 2003).…”

For Germany, we estimate the relative effectiveness of training programs and job creation schemes. We pay particular attention to problems of common support that may arise in cross-program comparisons. Furthermore, we show that the use of different outcome variables may lead to different conclusions. In particular, the group of participants in job creation schemes may be too different from training participants to conduct a reliable comparison. Participants in shorter training programs spend more time in employment than those in longer programs; this is mainly due to less lock-in effects. However, at the end of our observation period participants in long retraining programs show the best relative performance.

“…Schließlich sollen durch die Einführung von Quasi-Märkten sowohl im Bereich der Arbeitsvermittlung (Bernhard et al 2009, S. 165 ff.) als auch im Bereich der Weiterbildung (Kruppe 2009) Anreize für die effektive und vor allem kosteneffiziente Bereitstellung von Arbeitsmarktdienstleistungen geschaffen werden. Mit wenigen Ausnahmen zeigen diese Maßnahmen allerdings kaum Erfolge in ihrer Zielsetzung (vgl.…”

Paradox effects of financial incentives to work on employment stability—An analysis based on Boudon’s cognitivist model

Zusammenfassung:In der Arbeitsmarktpolitik werden finanzielle Zuschüsse zum Arbeitslohn (Kombilöhne) eingesetzt, um Arbeitslose zur Beschäftigungsaufnahme zu motivieren. Aus der Perspektive der ökonomischen Theorie sollten solche Anreize wirksam sein, weil sie direkt auf die finanziellen Nutzenmaximierungskalküle von Arbeitslosen ausgerichtet sind. Empirisch zu beobachten ist jedoch häufig die baldige Beendigung von einmal eingegangenen bezuschussten Beschäftigungsverhältnissen. In dieser Arbeit wird dieses Abbruchverhalten erklärt. Dazu wird auf Boudons um subjektive und normative Aspekte erweiterten Rationalitätsbegriff Bezug genommen. Es wird die These aufgestellt, dass der Zuschuss den Beschäftigten subjektiv eine Verletzung der Reziprozitätsnorm durch den Betrieb signalisiert und dass sie deshalb mit Sanktionen reagieren, die mitunter das Beschäftigungsende zur Folge haben. Datenbasis für die empirische Überprüfung der These ist eine Befragung von Kombilohnbeziehern des sogenannten "Mainzer Modells". Ordered Logit-und Ereignisanalysen werden mit einem Propensity Score Matching kombiniert, um die Hypothesentests durchzuführen. Die Ergebnisse stützen die aufgestellten Hypothesen. Dies wird als Hinweis darauf interpretiert, bereits bei der Konzeption von Kombilöhnen oder anderen Maßnahmen der Arbeitsmarktpolitik nicht ausschließlich von einem ökono-misch informierten Verständnis rationaler Handlungen auszugehen, wenn die Wirksamkeit dieser Instrumente erhöht werden soll.
