    Active Labor Market Policy Evaluations: A Meta-Analysis

    No full text
    This paper presents a meta-analysis of recent microeconometric evaluations of active labor market policies. Our sample consists of 199 program estimates drawn from 97 studies conducted between 1995 and 2007. In about one-half of these cases we have both a short-term impact estimate (for a one-year post-program horizon) and a medium-term estimate (two-year horizon). We characterize the program estimates according to the type and duration of the program, the characteristics of the participants, and the evaluation methodology. Heterogeneity in all three dimensions affects the likelihood that an impact estimate is significantly positive, significantly negative, or statistically insignificant. Comparing program types, subsidized public sector employment programs have the least favorable impact estimates. Job search assistance programs have relatively favorable short-run impacts, whereas classroom and on-the-job training programs tend to show better outcomes in the medium-run than the short-run. Programs for youths are less likely to yield positive impacts than untargeted programs, but there are no large or systematic differences by gender. Methodologically, we find that the outcome variable used to measure program effectiveness matters. Evaluations based on registered unemployment durations are more likely to show favorable short-term impacts. Controlling for the outcome measure, and the type of program and participants, we find that experimental and non-experimental studies have similar fractions of significant negative and significant positive impact estimates, suggesting that the research designs used in recent non-experimental evaluations are unbiased.active labor market policy, program evaluation, meta-analysis

    Polyakov loop distributions near deconfinement in SU(2) lattice gauge theory

    Engels J, Fingberg J, Weber M. Polyakov loop distributions near deconfinement in SU(2) lattice gauge theory. Zeitschrift für Physik, C: Particles and Fields. 1988;41(3):513-519.The distribution function of the Polyakov loop is investigated on a 163×3 lattice in the neighbourhood of the deconfinement transition of SU(2) gauge theory. We find, that well above the transition the distribution is a Gaussian; when the coupling approaches the critical point it is modified due to phase flip attempts of the system. Corresponding distributions for the plaquettes remain, however, Gaussian. For one coupling close to the transition we study the distributions on 83, 123 and 183×4 lattices and show that strong finite size effects are present. Using the maximum values of the Gaussian parts of the distributions we construct a more physical (and therefore scaling) order parameter whose critical exponent is in excellent agreement with the universality hypothesis

    Entries include brief biographical information, a typed biography, a typed letter introducing Weber to the Maine Author Collection, a book review clipping describing Thomas Hardy\u27s first novel The Poor Man and the Lady as recognized and reassembled by Professor Weber from evidence in published correspondence, from some publication under a similar title in an 1878 issue of the New Quarterly Magazine, and some publication as Under the Greenwood Tree, a typed postcard from Weber inviting the Maine State Library to visit him at the English Department of Colby College in Waterville, Maine, and a typed letter from the Maine State Library to Dr. Carl J. Weber as editor of the Colby Library Quarterly thanking him for a copy of the February 1947 Quarterly (missing) and his gift of Octave by Robinson (presumably Edwin Arlington Robinson, also missing) for the Maine State Library

    Histoire et Événement. De la controverse méthodique au débat théorique

    Jochen Hoock, Histoire et Événement. De la controverse méthodologique au débat théorique, p. 37-48. «Il suffit de se laisser en quelque sorte porter par les documents, lus l'un après l'autre, pour voir la chaîne des faits se reconstituer presque automatiquement», écrivait Louis Halphen en 1946. Au-delà des critiques de Lucien Febvre, cette assertion invite à réexaminer, à la lumière de l'historiographie allemande du second XIXe siècle (Droysen, Bernheim) et de la genèse de la démarche sociologique (Durkheim, Weber), le rapport qu'entretiennent événement et histoire : L'Essai historique, politique et moral sur les révolutions anciennes et modernes de Chateaubriand constitue à cet égard, comme l'a récemment souligné Reinhart Koselleck, le point de départ d'une réflexion où l'événement retrouve sa place au sein de toute tentative de «méta-histoire».Hoock Jochen. Histoire et Événement. De la controverse méthodique au débat théorique. In: Mélanges de l'École française de Rome. Italie et Méditerranée, tome 104, n°1. 1992. pp. 37-48
