摘要：Through the Hartz reforms, German active labor market policy was fundamentally
restructured and has since been systematically evaluated. This paper reviews the
recent evaluation findings and draws some conclusions for the future setup of
active labor market policies in Germany. It argues in favor of a reduced range
of active labor market policy schemes focusing on programs with proven positive
effects (that are wage subsidies, training, start-up grants and placement
vouchers) and calls for a systematic evaluation of all instruments not
scrutinized so far.
