摘要

定期面试结合了求职协助和求职监督。2017年，芬兰的一项政策变化增加了公共就业办公室面试失业求职者的频率。我们研究了定期访谈对失业移民退出率的影响。利用访谈实施的区域差异，我们发现改革将移民求职者挤出了劳动力市场。我们没有发现任何证据表明，面试的加强增加了失业移民向就业、教育或积极的劳动力市场项目的过渡。我们证明，移民更好的语言技能与更高的就业概率有关。

Check in, check out: How periodic interviews lead immigrants to leave the labor force

Periodic interviews combine job search assistance and monitoring of job search. In 2017, a policy change increased the frequency with which public employment offices interviewed unemployed jobseekers in Finland. We study the effects of periodic interviews on unemployed immigrants’ exit rates from unemployment. Utilizing regional variation in the implementation of interviews, we find that the reform pushed immigrant jobseekers out of the labor force. We find no evidence that the intensifying of interviews increased unemployed immigrants’ transitions to employment, education, or active labor market programs. We document that immigrants’ better language skills are associated with higher employment probabilities.

期刊介绍： Many economists today are concerned by the proliferation of journals and the concomitant labyrinth of research to be conquered in order to reach the specific information they require. To combat this tendency, Economics Letters has been conceived and designed outside the realm of the traditional economics journal. As a Letters Journal, it consists of concise communications (letters) that provide a means of rapid and efficient dissemination of new results, models and methods in all fields of economic research.
