Abstract: This paper uses monthly data on tertiary education graduates in 19 European countries covering 2004-2017 to assess the short-run effects of entry conditions on the transition into employment. Using an instrumental variables approach, a one percentage point increase in the unemployment rate is found to reduce the hazard rate of transitioning from unemployment into employment by 6%. The effect is stronger in southern European countries and, within this group, is almost entirely due to negative effects on females.
