“…These findings provide support for Caponi (2017a) who suggests that in a presence public sector wage premium (penalty) individuals might accept a temporary unemployment in order to obtain a public (private) sector job. Similar conclusions are reached by Algan, Cahuc, and Zylberberg (2002) who look at a panel of OECD countries and find that each additional public sector job is offset by one and a half jobs lost in the private sector.…”

“…Although averages are certainly informative, they might not reveal the whole story, particularly when investigating how public sector wage premium affects the private sector employment. Previous evidence on the cyclical response of wages suggests that relatively rigid public sector jobs become more attractive during the economic downturn when the public sector wage premium is higher whereas the opposite is true in an upswing (Caponi, 2017a;Gomes, 2015;Lane, 2003;Quadrini & Trigari, 2007). 1 In the light of the above, the average public sector wage premium (which over the cycle would be closed to long-term mean) might not fully reflect the effect which the public sector wage premium exert on the private sector employment.…”

“…Thus, workers performing the same job are typically paid equally irrespective of their productivity, age, gender or race. Many governments reduce persistent employment and wage gaps in marginalized groups through public sector employment policies and public works schemes, leading to a corresponding increase in their bargaining power (voice) with additional positive spillover effects in the private sector (Caponi 2017).…”

“…Ein weiteres arbeitsmarktpolitisches Argument gegen öffentliche Beschäftigungsmaßnahmen sind mögliche Verdrängungseffekte (Caponi 2017): Eine Jobgarantie könnte dazu führen, dass Personen eine öffentlich garantierte Beschäftigung annehmen, obwohl sie durch weiteres Suchen auch eine reguläre Beschäftigung in der Privatwirtschaft finden würden. Dieser Effekt wird in unserer Simulation nicht berücksichtigt und könnte zu einer Unterschätzung der Nettokosten führen.…”
