Abstract

This paper estimates the impact of different categories of employment policy interventions on job-seekers' subsequent experience. We generate a range of estimates to help us distinguish programme effects from selection effects. We also examine the robustness of our findings for a range of sub-populations. There is limited variation in programme effects for people with different observed characteristics. Some evidence suggests that programme effectiveness may be countercyclical.
