News from me
- I've recently joined back Andrea Cerrato working on the impact of "Big push" policies targeting Southern Italy. Andrea is presenting our new work at the NBER Summer Institute
- We have recently published on SSRN an academic version of our policy work on Artificial Intelligence at the OECD
My Job Market Paper was awarded the FBK-IRVAPP Best Paper in Policy Evaluation award
The paper, titled "What Do NEETs Need?
The Joint Effect of Active and Passive Labor Market Policies" first investigates the effect of combining intensive training, job immersions and counseling with a generous cash transfer.
Ido so by evaluating a flagship French program, Garantie Jeunes, targeting disadvantaged youth Not in Employment, Education or Training. Using a new diff-in-diff estimator, I find that active labor market policies compensae for lock-in and for the negative effect of passive policies during the program, while a stong positive effect emerges after the end of the program.
