Does extended unemployment benefit duration ameliorate the negative employment effects of job loss?

The Effect of the Hartz Labor Market Reforms on Post-Unemployment Wages, Sorting, and Matching

“…Recall that estimated establishment wage effects ˆ J(i,t) are normalized to have zero mean in the sample. Thus establishments with ˆ J(i,t) < 0 pay their employees less than we would expect given their observable characteristics zit and unobserved personal and match heterogeneity.25 This is consistent withFackler et al (2019) who report that displacement increases the probability of temporary employment in a sample of older German workers who were displaced due to bankruptcy between 2008 and 2013.…”

“…Our decomposition approach is closely related to the Pendakur and Woodcock (2010) "Glass Door effect," the Gelbach (2016) decomposition, and the approach taken by Figueiredo et al (2014) to estimate the effect of industrial agglomeration on worker-firm matching. It is also related to recent papers by Lachowska et al (2018), Fackler et al (2017), and others that seek to understand the role of employer-specific factors in the wage losses of displaced workers.…”

“…The decomposition approach that we develop in Section 4 is also related to recent papers in the displacement literature by Fackler et al (2017), Lachowska et al (2018), and Schmieder et al (2018. These papers seek to explain the sources of post-displacement wage losses (in Germany and Washington state) using linked employer-employee data.…”

A review on the elasticity of unemployment duration to the potential duration of unemployment benefits

“…Only three studies found nonsignificant estimates on unemployment duration. In the case of Fackler et al (2019), the authors used a longer period of analysis than other studies analyzing Germany for a similar age interval and the same administrative data. In fact, the study that used more similar data in terms of period of analysis presented the smallest statistically significant effect across all studies in this review (Lichter & Schiprowski, 2021).…”

Flexibilitätsinstrumente am Arbeitsmarkt in der Covid-19-Krise

“…Sie sind zudem mit langfristigen negativen monetären und nicht-monetären Folgen verbunden. Befunde zu den Auswirkungen von Arbeitsplatzverlusten verdeutlichen, dass die betroffenen Personen im Vergleich zu einer Kontrollgruppe, die nicht von Arbeitsplatzabbau betroffen ist, auch mehrere Jahre nach dem Arbeitsplatzverlust eine geringere Wiederbeschäftigungswahrscheinlichkeit aufweisen, häufiger atypisch beschäftigt sind und selbst in regulären Vollzeitjobs zumeist geringere Löhne erhalten (Fackler et al 2019(Fackler et al , 2021Schmieder et al 2020). Die Folgen von Arbeitsplatzverlusten und Arbeitslosigkeit beschränken sich allerdings nicht nur auf die Arbeitsmarktperformance, sondern führen unter anderem zu schlechterer Gesundheit und höherer Mortalität (Bloemen et al 2018) sowie zu psychischer und sozialer Deprivation (Brand 2015).…”
