Impacts of active labor market programs: new evidence from evaluations with particular attention to developing and transition countries (2004, background): “Construction of the control group is usually the most important challenge in designing an impact 5 See, for example, Heckman, LaLonde, and Smith (1999); Benus and Orr (2000); Grubb and Ryan (1999); O’Leary, Nesperova, and Samorodov (2001); and Kluve and Schmidt (2002).”
Effective Active Labor Market Policies (2004, unknown): “Kluve and Schmidt (2002) use the outcomes of 53 recent evaluation studies to perform a regression where each program represents 1 datapoint.”
The effectiveness of European active labor market programs (2010, methodology): “In the context of program evaluation, such a systematic 690 analysis has so far only been implemented for US studies (Greenberg et al., 2003Q10 ) and in a very basic version on the basis of a small sample 692 for Europe (Kluve and Schmidt 2002).”
The Effectiveness of Public-Sponsored Training Revisited: The Importance of Data and Methodological Choices (2014, unknown): “On the substantive side,we revisit the effectiveness of twowidely used 1 For comprehensive overviews, see Heckman, LaLonde, and Smith ð1999Þ, Martin ð2000Þ, Martin and Grubb ð2001Þ, Kluve and Schmidt ð2002Þ, Carcillo and Grubb ð2006Þ, and Card, Kluve, and Weber ð2010Þ.”
Interventions to Improve the Labour Market Outcomes of Youth: A Systematic Review of Training, Entrepreneurship Promotion, Employment Services and Subsidized Employment Interventions (2017, unknown): “Other studies with similar limitations include those 27 which looked at programmes implemented in Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries only, e.g., Heckman et al. (1999), Kluve and Schmidt (2002), and Kluve (2006 and 2010).”
Start-Up Subsidies for the Unemployed: Long-Term Evidence and Effect Heterogeneity (2011, background): “…found occasionally, the overall evidence indicates that the effects of those traditional measures are rather disappointing (see Martin and Grubb, 2001; Dar and Gill, 1998; Dar and Tzannatos, 1999; or Fay, 1996 for evidence on OECD countries and Kluve and Schmidt, 2002 for the European experience).”
Costs and benefits of Danish active labour market programmes (2008, background): “As pointed out by Kluve and Schmidt (2002) and Kluve (2006), in this light it is somewhat paradoxical that the practice of evaluating programmes is much less developed in Europe than in the US.”
What Did All the Money Do? On the General Ineffectiveness of Recent West German Labour Market Programmes (2008, unknown): “The early literature, which was mainly concerned with labour market training and focused on short to medium-run effects (see the surveys by Fay, 1996; Heckman, LaLonde, and Smith, 1999; Martin and Grubb, 2001; Kluve and Schmidt, 2002), was rather pessimistic about the effectiveness of such programme”
Active Labor Market Policy Evaluations: A Meta-Analysis (2010, unknown): “Here, our findings reinforce the conclusions of earlier literature summaries, including Heckman, Lalonde and Smith (1999), Kluve and Schmidt (2002), and Kluve (2007).”
