Should Welfare Administration be Centralized or Decentralized? Evidence from a Policy Experiment
The 2005 reform of the German welfare system introduced two competing organizational models for welfare administration. In most districts, a centralized organization was established where local welfare agencies are bound to central directives. At the same time, 69 districts were allowed to opt for a decentralized organization. We evaluate the relative success of both types in terms of integrating welfare recipients into employment. Compared to ce…
Intensifying the use of benefit sanctions
In Germany, imposition of benefit cuts for non-compliant welfare recipients depends on the policy of the local welfare agencies resulting in considerable regional variation, expressed in milder and stricter sanction regimes. Findings from international studies show, that benefit sanctions can substantially increase individual employment uptake. This raises the question, whether a stricter use of sanctions will be effective in Germany. We analyze …
What active labour market programmes work for immigrants in Europe? A meta-analysis of the evaluation literature
A growing body of programme evaluation literature recognises immigrants as a disadvantaged group in European labour markets and investigates the employment effects of Active Labour Market Programmes (ALMPs) on this subgroup. So far, however, there is no systematic review establishing which ALMPs are effective for immigrants. Using a meta-analysis, we condense 93 estimates from 33 empirical studies of the effectiveness of four types of ALMPs emplo…

Short-term training programs for immigrants in the German welfare system
We evaluate the individual employment effects of four types of short-term training for immigrants and natives in the German welfare system and identify differences in the effects determined by unobservable factors. Based on comprehensive and unique administrative data, we apply propensity score matching in a dynamic setting to estimate the treatment effects and suggest the identification of unexplained effect differences between groups. The resul…
Die Veränderung individueller Beschäftigungsfähigkeit durch arbeitsmarktpolitische Intervention
Die Erhöhung der Beschäftigungsfähigkeit wird als Ziel der aktivierenden Arbeitsmarktpolitik umfassend diskutiert und ist programmatisch fest verankert, wird aber nur selten empirisch untersucht. In unserem Beitrag entwickeln wir ein empirisches Konzept zur Erfassung der Beschäftigungsfähigkeit auf individueller Ebene weiter und analysieren, ob arbeitsmarktpolitische Interventionen die Beschäftigungsfähigkeit verbessern können. Grundlage ist eine…
Do German Welfare-to-Work Programmes Reduce Welfare and Increase Work?
Bologna-Prozess
Der Bologna-Prozess
Thomas Walter untersucht, ob der sogenannte "Bologna-Prozess" einen Wendepunkt der europäischen Hochschulpolitik darstellt, und wenn ja, an welchen Merkmalen sich das festmachen lässt. Hierfür skizziert er zunächst die wesentlichen Etappen der Geschichte der europäischen Hochschulpolitik. Der historische Kontext zeigt, dass neben der Europäischen Union auch der Europarat und die UNESCO eine zentrale hochschulpolitische Rolle gespielt haben. Für d…
