公共就业机构（PEA）运营效率的提高和失业救济金的减少可以在多大程度上减少失业？以德国最近的劳动力市场改革为背景，我们发现PEA有效性的提高解释了改革后失业率下降的20%。失业救济金减少的作用仅解释了观察到的下降的5%左右。由于改革产生的抑制作用，如果不那么关注长期失业工人，《就业援助法》的改革本可以对减少失业产生更大的影响。(C)2015 Elsevier B.V.版权所有。
By how much does an increase in operating effectiveness of a public employment agency (PEA) and a reduction of unemployment benefits reduce unemployment? Using a recent labour market reform in Germany as background, we find that an enhanced effectiveness of the PEA explains about 20% of the observed post-reform unemployment decline. The role of unemployment benefit reduction explains just about 5% of the observed decline. Due to disincentive effects resulting from the reform, the reform of the PEA could have had an even higher impact on unemployment reduction if there had been less focus on long-term unemployed workers.
