Abstract:
We present a theoretical and empirical analysis of different types of active labor market
policies (ALMP). In our empirical analysis we use data on 20 OECD countries covering the
time period 1985-1999. We find that labor market training is the most effective program to
bring down unemployment. Public employment services have some impact while subsidized
jobs are not effective at all. Our theory considers ALMP in the context of a search-matching
model.
