Data on Economic Policy Discussed by Researchers at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (Decomposing Employment Trends of Disabled Workers): Economics – Economic Policy

2021 DEC 01 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Economics Daily Report -- Data detailed on Economics - Economic Policy have been presented. According to news reporting out of Amsterdam, Netherlands, by NewsRx editors, research stated, “This paper estimates Age-Period-Cohort models on employment rates of Dutch Disability Insurance (DI) applicants. We find that the substantial decrease in employment between 1999 and 2013 is explained by year-of-application cohort effects and that period effects are negligible.”

Financial support for this research came from Instituut Gak.

Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, “In turn, application cohort effects partly stem from increasing shares of applicants without permanent contracts. Changes in application cohort effects are largely confined to the years following two DI reforms that increased self-screening among workers. We next analyze changes in employment rates of awarded and rejected applicants and follow a Difference-in-Differences approach.”

According to the news editors, the research concluded: “Assuming common compositional cohort effects, we infer negligible effects of changes in benefit conditions.”

This research has been peer-reviewed.
