Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2011 im Fachbereich Politik - Methoden, Forschung, Note: 2,3, Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz, Veranstaltung: Hauptseminar - Anwendungsorientierte Einführung in die ökonometrische Evaluationsforschung, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Evaluation oder genauer gesagt die Evaluationsforschung, also die Bewertung von bestimmten Maßnahmen hinsichtlich ihrer Wirkung, stellt in der Politikwissenschaft bis dato leider immer noch einen recht unterbesetzten Forschungszweig dar. Selbst die bekanntesten Methoden der Evaluationsforschung wie etwa Matching Verfahren, Difference-in-Differences Modelle oder Regression Disconituity sind dort nur selten vorzufinden. Und in der Tat musste leider auch ich bei meinen Vorbereitungen zu dieser Arbeit feststellen, dass die meisten Texte die sich dieser Methoden bedienen, meist im medizinischen oder wirtschaftswissenschaftlichen Forschungssektor angesiedelt sind. Dabei können solche Evaluationsverfahren auch, oder gerade in der Politikforschung, sowie der Politikberatung von immensem Interesse sein. Schließlich kann nur mit Hilfe von ihnen die Qualität sowie die Effektivität von bestimmten Maßnahmen bestimmt und dadurch auch verbessert werden. Aber auch die Auswirkung bestimmter Ereignisse, wie etwa die des Elbhochwassers auf die Bundestagswahlen (s. Bechtel & Heinmueller 2010) oder die Auswirkungen eines Amtsinhaberbonus auf den Wahlausgang (s. Lee 2001). Leider ist es eben dieser relativ geringen Verfügbarkeit von politikwissenschaftlichen Studien die mit Methoden der Evaluationsforschung arbeiten geschuldet, dass ich mich auch im Folgenden mit einem Text aus dem ökonomischen Bereich befassen werde. Dabei handelt es sich um eine Studie von Bergemann et al. über die Auswirkungen von Schulungsmaßnahmen durch die Bundesagentur für Arbeit. Dabei bedienen sie sich eines Difference-in-Differences Verfahrens in Verbindung mit einem Matching Modell.

After unification large amounts of money were spent to retrain the East Germany labour force in order to ease the transition to the new market economy. This book uses microeconometric methods and individual data to evaluate the impact of these training programmes on the participants' labour market situation. It discusses the appropriate evaluation methodology as well as the effectiveness of the actual programmes for the individual participants. The empirical results suggest that the public sector sponsored training programmes were fairly ineffective. In contrast, the training organized and paid by the enterprises caused considerable earnings growings.

This book analyses the employment effects of job creation schemes for participating individuals in Germany. Programs provide subsidized jobs that are additional in nature and of value for society. International evidence on their effectiveness suggests that programs should be targeted to the needs of the unemployed and should be offered early in the period of unemployment. Both questions are studied for job creation schemes in Germany.

The evaluation of labour market and other public policies has become increasingly important in recent years. In an era of tight government budgets, a thorough analysis of these measures is imperative. This book provides a comprehensive overview and assessment of the most relevant microeconometric evaluation methods. It focuses on the popular propensity score matching method and gives extensive guidance for its implementation. In the second part of the book, this method is used to evaluate the employment effects of job creation schemes on the participating individuals in Germany. Based on a large administrative dataset of over 11,000 participants, the study allows to draw policy-relevant conclusions for the first time.

Education and training are key to explain the current competitive strengths of national economies. While in the past educational and training institutions were often seen as providers of necessary skills for national economies, this view has changed, with education and training now being seen as a key ingredient for international competitiveness. This collection of papers on various aspects of the economics of education and training reflects this new interest.
