论文摘要
本文表明，小组组成塑造了劳动力市场培训计划的求职者的有效性。使用来自德国的丰富行政数据和一种新颖的就业能力，我发现参与者通过增加长期就业和收入而受益于高度可就业同龄人的平均曝光率。效果因自身的就业能力而有很大的差异：可就业能力较低的求职者长期收益较大，而高度就业的个人主要在短期内通过较高的入学工资受益。对机制的分析表明，求职中的集团内竞争减弱了通过知识溢出作用的积极影响的一部分。
This paper shows that group composition shapes the effectiveness of labor market training programs for jobseekers. Using rich administrative data from Germany and a novel measure of employability, I find that participants benefit from greater average exposure to highly employable peers through increased long-term employment and earnings. The effects vary significantly by own employability: jobseekers with a low employability experience larger long-term gains, whereas highly employable individuals benefit primarily in the short term through higher entry wages. An analysis of mechanisms suggests that within-group competition in job search attenuates part of the positive effects that operate through knowledge spillovers.
