A Hiring Subsidy for Long-Term Unemployed in a Search Model with PES and Random Search
No full textOur search model combines two search methods, the public employment service (PES) and random search. The separation rate is endogenous, the job matching process consists of three stages. In the first and the second respectively the short-term (STU) and the long-term unemployed (LTU) randomly search for a vacancy. In the last stage the PES matches registered jobseekers with registered vacancies. The LTU cause training costs and, during the training period, have a lower marginal product than the STU. The effects of the hiring subsidy and of profiling techniques to increase the effectiveness of the PES depend on the target group. For target groups, who have relatively low private search costs in comparison with their productivity, not only the hiring subsidy but also the job placement activities of the PES are counterproductive and reduce overall employment.matching model, hiring subsidy, endogenous separation rate, active labour market policy, PES and search market
Welcome from the IEEE PES ISGT Europe 2020 General Chairs
No full textWelcome from the IEEE PES ISGT Europe 2020 General Chairs On behalf of the Organizing Committee we are very pleased to welcome you to the 10th IEEE PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Europe (ISGT-Europe) Conference organized by the Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands, which for more than 175 years has been one of the most prestigious public institutions both at an international and national level in education, research, technological transfer and services in all sectors of engineering. The IEEE-PES ISGT-Europe 2020 conference will stress the need for viewing the role of smart grids in future energy systems as part of the designing, managing and operating qualitatively new complex socio-technical systems. From a technical perspective, solutions to the limited ability to predict stochastic generation and demand can be found in novel technologies such as integrated communications, advanced sensing & measurement technologies, advanced control methods, improved interfaces and decision support. From an economic and regulatory perspective, the challenge is to innovate and deploy new technologies within new business models and market designs, so that the objectives to contribute significantly to a sustainable world will be met. This is the first ISGT conference that is conducted in a virtual fashion. This is a challenge but also an opportunity. Although we would have preferred to welcome the ISGT community in the beautiful city of the Hague located in South-Holland, we are happy to host you virtually this time. We kept the classical format of a conference with regards to timing and content, and tried to replicate the interactive elements such as discussions or social interaction with on-line tools. Conferences are - besides learning the newest trends and developments - for meeting peers and networking after all. A clearly positive aspect of virtual conferences such as this one are reduced costs, both in conference organization (and in attendee fees ) and travel. Still, we hope that we will meet soon again face to face and enjoy a few days together. We would like to thank all the conference sponsors and everyone that supported us in setting this IEEE PES ISGT-Europe 2020 up, from IEEE PES, the Technical Review Committee to the local team at TU Delft and wish everyone a fruitful and engaging conference. We look forward to meeting you virtually at the 10th IEEE PES Innovative Smart Grid Technologies Europe (ISGT-Europe) Conference."Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public."Energie and IndustrieIntelligent Electrical Power Grid

A hiring subsidy for long-term unemployed in a search model with PES and random search
No full textOur search model combines two search methods, the public employment service (PES) and random search. The separation rate is endogenous, the job matching process consists of three rounds. In the first and the second respectively the short-term (STU) and the long-term unemployed (LTU) randomly search for a vacancy. During the last round the PES matches registered jobseekers with registered vacancies. The LTU cause training costs and, during the training period, have a lower marginal product than the STU. The effects of the hiring subsidy and of profiling techniques to increase the effectiveness of the PES depend on the target group they are geared towards. For skill groups, who have relatively low private search costs in comparison with their productivity, not only the hiring subsidy but also the job placement activities of the PES are counterproductive and reduce overall employment. -- Das Modell kombiniert zwei Suchmethoden, den staatlichen Vermittlungsdienst (PES) und die private Jobsuche. Die Trennungsrate des Modells ist endogen, der Matching Prozeß umfasst drei Phasen. In der ersten und zweiten suchen jeweils die Kurzzeitarbeitslosen (STU) und die Langzeitarbeitslosen (LTU) nach annoncierten Stellen, in der dritten vermittelt der PES registrierte Jobsucher mit registrierten Vakanzen. LTU verursachen Trainingskosten und haben während der Einarbeitungszeit eine geringere Produktivität als STU. Die Wirkungen des Lohnkostenzuschusses für LTU und der Maßnahmen zur Erhöhung der Vermittlungseffektivität des PES hängen von der Zielgruppe ab. Für Zielgruppen, deren private Suchkosten im Vergleich zu ihrer Arbeitsproduktivität relativ gering sind, erweisen sich nicht nur der Lohnkostenzuschuss sondern auch die staatliche Vermittlungsaktivität als kontraproduktive Instrumente, die die gesamtwirtschaftliche Beschäftigung reduzieren.Matching model,hiring subsidy,endogenous separation rate,active labour market policy,PES,search market
Different Shades of Shame. The Responsibilities and Legacies of a Shameful History in Australian Fiction
No full textStarting from the premise that shame has been central to the definition of white Australian identity since early white settlement, due to the association with convictism and to “cultural cringe”, the essay investigates the literary representations of shame as specifically related to the history of atrocities and rights violation committed against the Indigenous people of Australia. In particular, it analyses some short stories by K.S. Prichard and the novel Sarah Thornhill by Kate Grenville. The critical reading of Prichard’s stories focuses on the internalized experience of racial shame and on the analysis of the counter-shaming rhetorical strategies aiming at restructuring the relations of self/Other and subverting the colonial hierarchical assumptions of white superiority and black inferiority. The analysis of Grenville’s novel, on the other hand, shows that shame involves a process of self-awareness and self-transformation that is not meant to relieve or absolve the sense of shame, but to denounce what has been concealed and needs to be uncovered. The essay aims to prove that the literary representation of the two emotional paths of the shame of the oppressor and the pain of the oppressed may go in the direction of a political responsibility in the process of reconciliation

Using PES to Implement REDD
No full textPayments for Environmental Services
(PES) are one of the instruments that countries might use to
try to reduce deforestation, and hence receive payments for
Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation
(REDD). This paper discusses four aspects related to the use
of PES as an instrument to implement an avoided
deforestation program, based on a review of PES experiences
in Latin America. First, the paper discusses the
applicability of PES in the context of REDD. PES is only one
of the instruments that can be used to reduce deforestation.
Some types of deforestation problems may not be amenable to
the use of PES, while others might be better addressed with
other instruments. Second, the paper examines the evidence
on the effectiveness of PES as a tool to reduce
deforestation. Although it seems intuitive to think that
paying for forest conservation would reduce deforestation,
the available evidence from existing PES programs is mixed.
Third, the paper discusses several welfare considerations
arising from the possible use of PES as a tool to reduce
deforestation. That REDD be implemented in ways that do not
harm the welfare of forest-dependent peoples has been an
important part of the debate
