Produktbeschreibung
Empirical measurement of impacts of active labour market programmes has started to become a central task of economic researchers. New improved econometric methods have been developed that will probably influence future empirical work in various other fields of economics as well. This volume contains a selection of original papers from leading experts, among them James J. Heckman, Noble Prize Winner 2000 in economics, addressing these econometric issues at the theoretical and empirical level. The theoretical part contains papers on tight bounds of average treatment effects, instrumental variables estimators, impact measurement with multiple programme options and statistical profiling. The empirical part provides the reader with econometric evaluations of active labour market programmes in Canada, Germany, France, Italy, Slovak Republic and Sweden.
Autorenporträt
Der Münchner Michael Lechner, geboren 1969, studierte nach seiner kaufmännischen Ausbildung Völkerkunde und Amerikanistik. Seit 1989 reist er regelmäßig nach Nord-, Mittel- und Südamerika, Australien und Indonesien. Seine Reiseschwerpunkte verlagerten sich in den letzten Jahren immer mehr in Richtung Kanada, Alaska, Skandinavien und den gesamten Alpenraum. Davon verbrachte er etwa 40 Wochen in den Atlantischen Provinzen Kanadas. Seine Faszination für die vielfältige und einzigartige Natur zwischen Sankt-Lorenz-Strom und Atlantik ist auch nach 15 Reisen in diese Region ungebrochen.
