Abstract

Abstract This study examines the impacts of demand-side (the improved employment protection law) and supply-side (pension reform) government interventions on older male workers’ employment outcomes in Japan. To identify the effects of interventions implemented concurrently, we employ a difference-in-difference-in-differences (DDD) approach with variation in the bindingness of the revision of employment protection law as our specification strategy. Our results show that the revised employment protection law had a significant positive impact on employment. However, the results of the event study’s DDD model show that the treatment effects do not last over time.

养老金改革与就业保障改善:对老年男性就业结果的影响

摘要本研究考察了需求侧(就业保护法的完善)和供给侧(养老金改革)政府干预对日本老年男性工人就业结果的影响。为了确定同时实施的干预措施的影响，我们采用了差异中差异(DDD)方法，将就业保护法修订的约束力变化作为我们的规范策略。研究结果表明，修订后的《就业保护法》对就业产生了显著的正向影响。然而，事件研究的DDD模型的结果表明，治疗效果不会随着时间的推移而持续。

期刊介绍： The B.E. Journal of Economic Analysis & Policy welcomes submissions that employ microeconomics to analyze issues in business, consumer behavior, and public policy. We aim to be an international forum for scholarship, whether the scholarship considers an issue that is general or that pertains to a particular country or region, but authors should bear in mind that our readers come from around the world. Potential issues of interest include: the interaction of firms, the functioning of markets, the effects of domestic and international policy, and the design of organizations and institutions.
