Dynamic evaluation of job search assistance

Summary This paper evaluates a job search assistance program for unemployed teachers where the assignment to is dynamic. We discuss methodology of estimating dynamic treatment effects and identification conditions. In empirical analysis, we use administrative data from unique institutional environment in which observe all variables determining program. allows us compare results discrete‐time evaluation model continuous‐time duration model. All approaches show that participation reduces exit rates unemployment, particular when starting early during spell unemployment. The approach makes less strict parametric assumptions, but are sensitive choice control group unit time.
