“…A programme with a stronger focus on labour supply incentives, not only at the extensive, but also at the intensive margin, might be preferable. This suggests a combination of a more generous wage subsidy programme with active labour market policies, such as suggested by Fertig et al (2006). Further, policies narrowly targeted at the needs of specific groups, for example the long‐term unemployed or the low‐skilled, are found to be more efficient, because they avoid windfall benefits or adverse incentives for some groups (Card et al 2009).…”

ABSTRACT The Effects of Marginal Employment on Subsequent Labour Market Outcomes *We analyse the consequences of starting a wage subsidised job, "marginal employment", for unemployed workers. Marginal employment is a type of wage subsidy paid to unemployed workers and they do not lose their unemployment benefits if the wage is below a certain threshold. We ask if the unemployed who start marginal jobs face better labour market outcomes than those who do not work. A priori it is not clear if those who work in marginal employment improve their labour market status, e.g. by signalling effort, or worsen it by reduced job search effort. We select unemployed workers and investigate the effect of marginal employment on their labour market outcomes, by means of propensity score matching. Our results suggest that selection into marginal employment is "negative", i.e. workers with characteristics we usually associate with low-productivity are more likely to select into such jobs. The unemployed who start to work in marginal employment during their unemployment spell suffer a (causal) penalty for doing so, relative to their peers who do not. The penalty, in terms of less employment, more unemployment, lower wages, lessens over time but is still present after three years.. JEL Classification:J22, J64

Zusammenfassung: Dieser Beitrag untersucht die Effekte der im Rahmen der Hartz-Reformen vorgenommenen Neuregelungen der Arbeitnehmerüberlassung und der geringfügigen Beschäftigung. Der Fokus liegt hierbei jeweils auf den Wirkungen auf die gesamtwirtschaftliche Anzahl und Struktur der Beschäftigung in Zeitarbeit, Minijobs und Midijobs. Für alle drei Beschäftigungsformen zeigen die ökonometrischen Analysen positive Effekte im Sinne der Reformen, d.h. eine Ausweitung der Beschäftigung, die für Minijobs sehr umfangreich, für Zeitarbeit und Midijobs eher moderat ausfällt. Vorläufige Ergebnisse aus Implementationsanalysen und Befragungen ergeben allerdings, dass "Klebeeffekte" der Zeitarbeit und eine "Brückenfunktion" der Minijobs kaum festzustellen sind, während Midijobs unter Umständen eine "Brücke" in voll sozialversicherungspflichtige Beschäftigung sein könnten.Summary: This paper investigates alternative types of employment introduced or changed by the latest labor market reforms in Germany ("Hartz-reforms"). Specifically, we investigate whether and to which extent the reform of temporary work and the reduction of social security contributions for socalled Mini-and Midijobs impinge upon the economy-wide level and structure of these jobs. Our econometric results suggest that all three employment types increased due to the reforms. The largest effect can be observed for Minijobs. Furthermore, different surveys among firms, workers in Midijobs, labor agencies and others indicate rather modest effects on unemployment for all types of alternative employment.
