Causal effects of alternative participation patterns: a labour policy application Artigo de Conferência uri icon

resumo

  • The Portuguese public labour market policy offers, to the registered unemployed individuals, not only the possibility of successive participation in different labour programmes but also the possibility to postpone that participation. Dynamic matching techniques allow to understand the causal effects of the above alternative participation patterns, as this paper shows. The compute results of a consecutive participation decision compared with the alternative postponed participation suggest a higher degree of effectiveness of the public labour public policy.
