The Effects of Vocational Training Programmes on the Duration of Unemployment in Eastern Germany This paper focuses on the effects of vocational training programmes on the duration of unemployment in Eastern Germany. We use information from administrative data of the Federal Employment Office. To allow for observable and possible unobservable influences we apply a multivariate mixed proportional hazard model. Furthermore, particular interest is spent on possible locking-in effects by separate estimation of inand after-programme effects. Regarding several different programme durations our results show insignificant inand after-programme effects for short-term programmes, insignificant in-programme and negative after-programme effects for mid-term programmes and negative inand afterprogramme effects for long-term programmes. JEL Classification: J64, J24, I28, J68
