增加对低收入者的工作激励是欧洲各国政策辩论中的一个共同话题。德国的“迷你工作”改革也有类似的动机。我们进行了事后评估,以确定这一改革的短期效果。我们的识别策略在社会经济小组研究(SOEP)的访谈月份中使用了一种外生变量,这使我们能够区分受改革影响的群体和不受影响的群体。为了考虑季节性影响,我们还使用了差异中的差异(DID)策略。描述表明,改革后微型工作的数量有所增加。然而,我们表明,这种增长不能因果关系的改革,因为短期的影响是非常有限的。只有单身男性似乎会立即做出反应,增加第二职业。
Increasing work incentives for people with low income is a common topic in the policy debate across European countries. The ‘Mini-Job’ reform in Germany had a similar motivation. We carry out an ex-post evaluation to identify the short-run effects of this reform. Our identification strategy uses an exogenous variation in the interview months in the Socio-Economic Panel Study (SOEP), which allows us to distinguish groups that are affected by the reform from those who are not. To account for seasonal effects we additionally use a Difference-In-Differences (DID) strategy. Descriptives show that there is a post-reform increase in the number of mini-jobs. However, we show that this increase cannot be causally related to the reform, since the short-run effects are very limited. Only single men seem to react immediately and increase secondary job holding.
