| Abstract: | In the late 1990s, Switzerland introduced an ambigious active labour market policy (ALMP) encompassing several programmes. The authors evaluate their effects on the individual employment probability using unusually informative data from administrative records. Using a matching estimator for multiple programmes, they find positive effects for one particular programme unique to the Swiss ALMP. It consists of a wage subsidy for temporary jobs in the regular labour market that would otherwise not be taken up by rhe unemployed. The also find negative effecta for traditional employment prgrammes operated in sheltered labour markets. |
