我们研究了大衰退期间在内华达州实施的一项实验设计再就业计划，该计划要求失业保险（UI）受益人：（1）接受资格审查，以确认他们有资格获得福利并积极寻找工作，如果被认为符合资格，（2）接受就业咨询服务。我们的研究结果表明，该计划加快了参与者退出UI，UI节省超过计划成本，并提高了参与者的就业成果。UI退出可能性的程序效果的分析表明，该程序的影响部分与增加参与者退出的时间，当计划活动安排，反映自愿退出的参与者从UI，以避免程序活动和取消资格的参与者谁没有达到资格要求。此外，该计划诱导大量参与者退出UI后，参与者满足要求，他们与该计划的互动已经结束，这表明该计划提供的就业咨询服务可能有助于参与者进行更有效的求职。我们的研究结果提供的证据表明，再就业计划，联合收割机结合资格审查与强制参与求职服务，可以在经济衰退期间有效。
We examine an experimental-design reemployment program implemented in Nevada during the Great Recession that required Unemployment Insurance (UI) recipients to: (1) undergo an eligibility review to confirm they were qualified for benefits and actively searching for work and, if deemed eligible, (2) receive job-counseling services. Our results show that the program expedited participant exit from UI, produced UI savings that exceeded program costs, and improved participant employment outcomes. Analyses of program effects on the UI exit likelihood show that the program's effects are partly associated with increased participant exit up through the time when program activities were scheduled, reflecting voluntary exit of participants from UI to avoid program activities and disqualifications of participants who failed to meet eligibility requirements. In addition, the program induced substantial participant exit from UI in the period after participants fulfilled requirements and their interactions with the program had ended, suggesting that the job-counseling services offered by the program may have helped participants to conduct more effective job searches. Our findings provide evidence that reemployment programs that combine an eligibility review with mandatory participation in job-search services can be effective during recessions.
