“…In both the study of Knaus, Lechner and Strittmatter (2017) and Bertrand, Crépon, Marguerie and Premand (2017) effect heterogeneity is essentially found during the lock-in phase and not so much post treatment. In our evaluation we confirm that heterogeneity is more important during this initial phase, but also find evidence of heterogeneity in the post-treatment effect.…”

“…They find substantial effect heterogeneity, but only during the first 6 months after the start of programme participation. Bertrand, Crépon, Marguerie and Premand (2017) apply the Causal Random Forest method of Wager and Athey (2018) within a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to evaluate the programme heterogeneity of a temporary public works programme in a less developed country. Their analysis reveals important heterogeneity, but again mostly during programme participation.…”

“…Comprehensive study of the problems of managing public works in the countries, determination of the organizational and institutional structures, goals, amount and models of financing this social protective means have been in sight of scientists for a long time (Bertrand et al, 2017;Gehrke and Hartwig, 2015;Zimmermann, 2014). The exclusivity of each model of financial planning, depending on the chosen country, is investigated by such scientists as Subbarao et al (2013).…”

Purpose: The article deals with the essence and structure of the state mechanism for the organization and conduct of public works. Special features of forming legal and socioeconomic conditions of implementing the right to employment of unemployed persons are examined. Design/methodology/approach: The principal role in the organization of public works belongs to state institutions authorized to manage flows of funds. The key entities making managerial decisions on the organization of public works and their financial planning are state authorities (local state administrations), local self-government bodies (executive committees of village, town, and city councils), and territorial bodies of central executive body (bodies of State Employment Service). The source of public works financing is local budgets, financial resources of employers, the Fund of compulsory state social unemployment insurance. Findings: The basis for local authorities' decision-making is various territorial employment programs approved by the relevant local authorities. Practical Implications: In order to ensure the effective conduct of public works, it is proposed to amend the norms of authoritative and regulatory acts resulting in duplication of pecuniary liabilities by means of equal distribution between the local budget and the Fund of compulsory state social unemployment insurance. Originality/value: Public works are regarded as a social service that is available to unemployed citizens through the payment of insurance fees during their employment.

“…In Côte D'Ivoire, adding job search assistance to a public works program had no added benefit, likely in part because there were not many jobs available in the labor market [16]. Increasing the frequency of counseling meetings for youth in Denmark reduced their likelihood of being employed [17].…”
