Counseling and Monitoring of Unemployed Workers: Theory and Evidence from a Controlled Social Experiment (2001, background): “In practice, eligibility criteria are often harsher, and monitoring is more intense, if the individual has more favorable labor market opportunities (see also Abbring et al., 2005; Van den Berg et al., 2004, and references therein).”
Evaluating the Employment Impact of a Mandatory Job Search Program: The New Deal for Young People in the UK (2002, background): “Ashenfelter et al (1999) could find no increased benefit of stricter enforcement over job search assistance in their examination of random trials, but Anderson (2000) and Abbring et al (1997) do find evidence that sanctions and strict monitoring have important effects.”
Benefit Entitlement and Unemployment Duration: The Role of Policy Endogeneity (2004, background): “…for Sweden and Bover et al., 1998 for Spain); or study major cuts in benefits (e.g. Carling et al., 2001 look at a major benefit cut in Sweden and Abbring et al., 1998; Van den Berg et al., forthcoming look at the impact of major benefit cuts due to sanctions in the Netherlands) or re-employment…”

Counseling the Unemployed: Does it Lower Unemployment Duration and Recurrence? (2005, methodology): “This strategy has been successfully implemented in a set of recent papers (Abbring et al., 2000, Lalive et al., 2002a, 2002b, van den Berg et al., 2000, van den Berg et al., 2004 - see also Bonnal et al., 1997, for an early model in that vein).”
Job Search and Hyperbolic Discounting: Structural Estimation and Policy Evaluation (2008, unknown): “The magnitude of the effect is somewhat larger than that found in the literature (Ashenfelter et al., 2005; van den Berg et al., 2004; Abbring et al., 2005) but this can be explained by the fact that we are assuming that the government is capable of monitoring search effort perfectly.”
Optimal Unemployment Insurance with Monitoring and Sanctions (2007, unknown): “Recent non-experimental evidence from the Netherlands and Switzerland also suggest that the imposition of sanctions substantially raises the transition rate to employment (Abbring et al., 2005; Lalive et al., 2005; van den Berg et al., 2004).”
