چکیده

The data are a subsample from a data base generated for the evaluation of the Swiss active labour market policy together with Michael Gerfin. I am grateful to the Department of Economics of the Swiss Government (seco; Arbeitsmarktstatistik) for providing the data and to Michael Gerfin for his help in preparing them. The paper has been presented at the workshop Evaluation of Labour Market Policies, Bundesanstalt für Arbeit (IAB), Nuremberg, 1999. I thank participants for helpful comments and suggestions. All remaining errors are mine.
