Abstract

ABSTRACT In 1979 the German federal government introduced for the first time on a major scale a special employment programme that was limited to specific‘problem regions’. Nearly 50,000 persons took part in the programme. The impact of the programme as a whole and the various programme parts on different regions and groups of unemployed were investigated. The programme's impact on unemployment was investigated by means of a time‐series analysis and the impact on the employment level with different forecasting methods. In addition, cross‐sectional analysis has been performed. The results of all models lead to the conclusion that the programme lowered the level of unemployment by about 0.3 percent.
