| Abstract: | The authors evaluate Austrian labour market policy focusing on its possible effects upon recurrent unemployment. Without properly considering the selection processes for public training programmes, misleading results emerge. Taking this participation decision into account in a bivariate probit setting, Austrian manpower training programmes turn out to be a sort of "catching up": (1) disadvantaged and less motivated job-seekers are given priority in enrollment into training programmes, and (2) participation in such courses improves employment stability significantly. |
