SUMMARY:Rafael Lalive - University of Lausanne
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Does Outsourcing Job Assistance Help Long-term Unemployed Job Seekers Find 
 and Keep Jobs?\nAbstract:\nFinding jobs for long-term unemployed job seeker
 s is a challenge. We study whether a private nonprofit provider of placemen
 t services (called Hestia) performs better than the standard public scheme 
 in the context of a randomized experiment. Our data allow us to track labor
  market participation and benefit receipt two years prior to five years aft
 er assignment to treatment. We find that the Hestia manages to find jobs fo
 r its clients earlier, improving the employment rate by 4 percentage points
 , and reducing benefit receipt by the corresponding fraction in the first y
 ear. Yet, the initial employment gain dissipates completely, and becomes ev
 en negative and significant two years after assignment. Job seekers assigne
 d to Hestia earn substantially less on the job than the Control group. Thes
 e patterns are consistent with the private provider responding strongly to 
 the financial incentive scheme in place, despite its status as a non-profit
  organization.\n
