摘要

摘要本文研究了公共就业服务的分散化如何影响公共就业服务机构的行为和服务提供以及求职者的劳动力市场结果。我们使用差异中的差异，利用芬兰的临时改革，在此期间，PES对受治疗城市的特定求职者群体分散，对其他群体保持集中。这一改革为被处理的市政当局提供了将成本转移给中央政府的可能性。我们没有发现更好的劳动力市场结果的证据，并找到了与市政当局能够将其失业救济金成本的10%转移给中央政府一致的证据。

The decentralization of public employment services and local governments’ responses to incentives

Abstract We examine how the decentralization of public employment services (PES) affects the behavior and service provision of PES offices and the labor market outcomes of job seekers. We use difference-in-differences, utilizing a Finnish temporary reform during which PES were decentralized for specific groups of job seekers in treated municipalities and remained centralized for others. The reform presented the treated municipalities with the possibility of shifting costs to the central government. We find no evidence of better labor market outcomes and find evidence consistent with municipalities being able to shift 10% of their unemployment benefit costs to the central government.

期刊介绍： The aims of the Journal of Economic Geography are to redefine and reinvigorate the intersection between economics and geography, and to provide a world-class journal in the field. The journal is steered by a distinguished team of Editors and an Editorial Board, drawn equally from the two disciplines. It publishes original academic research and discussion of the highest scholarly standard in the field of ''economic geography'' broadly defined. Submitted papers are refereed, and are evaluated on the basis of their creativity, quality of scholarship, and contribution to advancing understanding of the geographic nature of economic systems and global economic change.
