 Verkürzte Bezugsdauern für Arbeitslosengeld: Deutliche Effekte auf die Eintritte in Arbeitslosigkeit (The 2006 reform of unemployment benefit entitlement lengths in Germany: considerable effects on entry rates into unemployment)Stephan Dlugosz, Gesine Stephan and Ralf Wilke No 200930, IAB-Kurzbericht from Institut für Arbeitsmarkt- und Berufsforschung (IAB), Nürnberg [Institute for Employment Research, Nuremberg, Germany] Abstract: "From 2002-2004, the German government passed several laws that curtailed the generosity of the unemployment compensation system. One of the most ambitious changes was a considerable reduction in unemployment benefit entitlement lengths for older unemployed, which was effective during 2006 and 2007. The authors apply a difference-in-differences approach to show that the highly disputed reform induced a considerable decline in unemployment incidence among older workers. Furthermore, they find a strong anticipation effect; unemployment entries of elderly workers peaked during the months preceding the reform."
