“…However, studies based on microdata cannot tell us what the aggregate effects of those labor market policies look like. As has been proposed by Garfinkel et al (1992), Calmfors (1994), Schmid et al (1996), and the OECD (2005), the aggregate impact of labor market policies might be smaller than what evaluations on the individual level suggest because deadweight losses and substitution and displacement effects of labor market policies are not taken into account. This is why studies based on micro-data should be complemented by aggregate impact studies of labor market policies in order to arrive at sound public policy recommendations.…”

I develop an agent-based computational economics (ACE) model with which I evaluate the aggregate impact of labor market policies. The findings are that government-financed training measures increase the outflow rate from unemployment to employment. Although the overall effect is positive, this effect is achieved by reducing the outflow rate for those who do not receive subsidies. Furthermore, the outflow rate would have been downward-biased had one supposed a matching function that is exogenous to policies.

Citation of such a paper should account for its provisional character. A revised version may be available directly from the author. The labor market differs from other markets in many respects. Most important is that those who supply labor also have to deliver it in person. It means firstly that the work environment and organization of work are important for those who deliver labor, since they are in the work place. Secondly, the result of a person's work varies with the price of labor (remuneration) and how the work is organized. Thirdly, the definition of work or a job for an employed person is not fixed but dependent on the person. The paper firstly deals with economic models of labor supply, labor demand, labor remuneration and labor market information. The subsequent sections discuss complications regarding labor market transparency in the context of international migration and public policy and policy implications regarding labor market transparency. A final section concludes.JEL Classification: F22, J22, J23, J30

“…Evaluation of related programmes must, therefore, seek to 'disentangle the effects of personal and structural factors, and [construct] theories that span micro and macro explanations' (Walker, 1995, p. 121). The fundamental problem with the experimental approach to evaluation is that it abstracts the programme evaluation from the social and institutional context that is essential to explaining its effectiveness (Schmid et al, 1996). As Sanderson (2000, p. 229) put it, 'programmes 'work' when they provide appropriate forms of help which address the needs and circumstances of individuals in the particular prevailing contextual conditions'.…”
