The effect of unemployment benefits
on labour market behaviour in Luxembourg
N. T. Longford and I. Salagean
Abstract
We apply the potential outcomes framework to estimate the effect
of awarding unemployment benefits on gaining long-term employment
after an unemployment spell and on the time it takes to achieve it.
We conclude that such awards, regarded as a treatment,
are associated with poorer labour force outcomes than no awards.
