Abstract
AbstractThe paper presents an econometric evaluation of the effects of subsidised non-profit temporary employment agencies - a programme of the German active labour market policy - on individual labour market outcomes. The empirical analysis is based on individual data from files for computer-assisted job brokering in Rhineland-Palatinate. Econometric estimates based on matching methods suggest that the programme generated a statistically significant additional reintegration success of about 13 per centage points. Within the first four months after leaving the programme, the cumulative effect was about half a month additional employment for the participants. Sensitivity and heterogeneity analyses indicate that the group of unemployed persons with higher participation probabilities are responsible for the positive mean programme impact.KeywordsEconometric evaluation methodsmatchingactive labour market policiestemporary employment agencies.
