A new Economics for Inclusive Prosperity policy brief on basic income and job guarantees, by Max Kasy and Lukas Lehner econfip.org/policy-brief...
Die deutschsprachige Version der Studie ist hier verfügbar: forschungsnetzwerk.ams.at/elibrary/pub...
Und das für 102 € pro Person und Monat an Nettokosten, wobei diese vor allem zu Beginn anfallen und über die Zeit weitgehend verschwinden. 4/5
Es gab keine negativen Anreizeffekte auf Jobsuche oder Verdrängungseffekte auf bestehende Jobs. 3/5
Teilnehmende verbrachten deutlich mehr Zeit in Beschäftigung, davon auch +17 % in ungeförderter Beschäftigung. Die Jobgarantie hat die psychosoziale Situation der Menschen sowie ihre soziale Integration deutlich verbessert. 2/5
Unsere Evaluierung der #Jobgarantie #Marienthal #MAGMA ist nun auf Deutsch via #AMS verfügbar
Das Projekt wurde 2020 von @svenhergovich.bsky.social ins Leben gerufen und von @maxkasy.bsky.social und mir evaluiert.
Die Jobgarantie hat die Langzeitarbeitslosigkeit lokal de facto abgeschafft. 1/5

Wenn Arbeitskräfte knapp sind, müssen Löhne steigen und Arbeitsbedingungen besser werden.
Mit Bruno Jaschke vom @falter.at habe ich über Mangelberufe und die Situation am österreichischen Arbeitsmarkt gesprochen.
Excited to join Economics for Inclusive Prosperity @econfip.bsky.social, an initiative whose members and goals I have looked up to since its foundation.
Also excited that our #EfIP policy brief (with @maxkasy.bsky.social) on #JobGuarantee and #BasicIncome is now out: econfip.org/policy-brief...
Employment is an effective integration tool, so early labour market access matters for asylum seekers. Long periods of inactivity reduce integration prospects and increase fiscal costs. @judithkohlenberger.bsky.social and I spoke about this to ORF:

Contributing to this programme was one of the best journalistic experiences I’ve had given the exceptionally thorough background fact-checking; a real testament to the quality of #BBC and #MoreorLess.
Reform UK recently claimed that the UK’s benefits bill would be much higher than in other Western countries. That's simply incorrect.
I spoke to @timharford.ft.com for #BBC More or Less about the actual cost of welfare.

Der Berufseinstieg für junge Studienabsolvent:innen ist derzeit schwierig. Gleichzeitig bleibt eine gute Ausbildung einer der wichtigsten Schutzfaktoren gegen Arbeitslosigkeit; gerade über den Erwerbsverlauf.
Mit der Kleinen Zeitung habe ich darüber gesprochen:

Aktuell subventionieren Branchen mit stabiler Beschäftigung jene mit instabiler Beschäftigung. Experience Ratings, wie in den USA, würden dies eindämmen.
Mit dem ORF habe ich über die aktuell steigende Arbeitslosigkeit in Österreich gesprochen: on.orf.at/video/143022...

Excited to be part of this project, where we'll aim to improve cost-benefit analysis of social policies over the next four years.
