“…They explain this result by self-selection of experimental participants -subsidies were typically refused by high-wage earners, who were reluctant to identify themselves as beneficiaries of the government. In a recent study, Brouillette and Lacroix (2008) obtained similar conclusions. They analyzed the Canadian "Self Sufficiency Project," where previously randomly selected unemployed persons, who then became eligible (after 12 months of unemployment) and qualified (through taking up a fulltime job within 12 months after establishing eligibility), received a generous in-work benefit (a subsidy paid to the employee).…”

“…For instance, studies of three North American programs obtained quite different results: In the short-run, Hamersma (2008) found that 40% of subsidies were passed over to workers as a wage premium, while no effects could be found on cumulated wages over a longer time period. In contrast, Dubin and Rivers (1993) showed for the short-run that wages were lowest for workers participating in a wage subsidy program, while Brouillette and Lacroix (2008) obtained a similar result for cumulated wages.…”

This paper compares the wages of individuals taking up a subsidized job with those of otherwise similar individuals who found an unsubsidized job, combining propensity score matching with a differences-in-differences strategy. The results indicate for the short-run that subsidized jobs are not associated with gains or losses regarding daily wages. Nonetheless, because subsequent employment rates of subsidized persons are higher on average, we find a positive relationship between cumulated wages and subsidization.

“…This "initial conditions" problem has been extensively studied in the literature [see, e.g. Brouillette and Lacroix (2010), Gritz (1993), Heckman and Singer (1984)]. Here we follow Wooldridge (2005) and treat the initial state as exogenous but condition all the following transitions on r 0 , the initial state.…”
