在德国，对不遵守规定的福利领取者实行的福利削减取决于当地福利机构的政策，造成相当大的地区差异，表现在较轻和较严格的制裁制度上。国际研究的结果表明，福利制裁可以大大增加个人就业率。这就提出了一个问题，即在德国，更严格地使用制裁是否会有效。我们分析了这个问题，利用地区制裁制度的变化作为工具变量，估计个人就业概率的制裁的最后期限。更严格的制裁政策对不遵守规定的福利领取者可能相当有效。JEL codesI 38; J64; C31
In Germany, imposition of benefit cuts for non-compliant welfare recipients depends on the policy of the local welfare agencies resulting in considerable regional variation, expressed in milder and stricter sanction regimes. Findings from international studies show, that benefit sanctions can substantially increase individual employment uptake. This raises the question, whether a stricter use of sanctions will be effective in Germany. We analyze this question by exploiting the variation of regional sanction regimes as instrumental variables to estimate the LATE of sanctions on the individual employment probability. A tighter sanction policy can be quite effective for non-compliant welfare recipients.JEL codesI38; J64; C31
