本文使用1982年至1999年的个人管理面板数据对英国劳动力市场计划“青年失业新政”进行了评估。这一强制性方案涉及广泛的就业援助，随后是各种其他选择，包括工资补贴。我们利用不同的时间引进的程序跨区域以及年龄相关的资格规则，以确定程序的效果。估计的就业影响的强制性求职援助计划的一部分，提出了使用各种估计技术探索相结合的“差异中的差异”和匹配程序。我们的主要发现是，失业男性现在获得工作的可能性比新政之前高出20%。
This paper is an evaluation of the British labor market program the "New Deal for the Young Unemployed" using administrative panel data on individuals between 1982 and 1999. This mandatory program involves extensive job assistance followed by various other options, including wage subsidies. We exploit the differential timing of the introduction of the program across regions as well as age-related eligibility rules to identify the program effect. Estimates of the employment effects of the mandatory job search assistance part of the program are presented using a variety of estimation techniques exploring combined "difference in differences" and matching procedures. Our key finding is that unemployed men are now 20% more likely to gain jobs than prior to the New Deal.
