L’analisi si concentra sugli avvisi del 2017/2018 e 2018/2019. Il lavoro utilizza una metodologia di tipo controfattuale, utilizzando dati di monitoraggio del PO FSE e dati amministrativi (dati sulle iscrizioni a Centri per l’impiego e dati relativi alla Comunicazioni obbligatorie) messi a disposizione dalla Provincia autonoma di Bolzano in formato anonimo.

Binomial regression models are used to estimate the effects of public spending as well as of a set of control variables drawn from the literature on new firm formation. We find that EU spending has a positive and significant effect on new firm formation. We also find a clear evidence of positive effects of: human capital, demand growth (measured by the average annual growth rate of population) and density of economic activity (measured by the number of existing firms per thousand inhabitants). The role of other factors is less clear but, overall, the findings confirm that even in a time of recession, the resources used for entrepreneurship policy had the desired effect and more can be done in the future to extend their scope and coverage.

To address the issue, we have resorted to a counterfactual approach with data from two main sources: the program administration and compulsory communications on employment and unemployment spells. We found a net impact of 5% on average for on-the-job training, but no impact for off-thejob training. On-the-job training also affects the probability to find permanent work (+3%). This is consistent with the view that young people have excellent theoretical, but very little work-related competences. Off-the-job training does affect the probability to experience at least one labor contract after 2016. These results are partly due to a lock-in effect, namely the tendency of those who attend training programs to delay their job search. Interestingly, we found that the program has a different impact for different typologies of recipients and different types of intervention. In a nutshell, active labor policy works when it generates work-related competences.

Objectives: To understand the impact of training in a classroom setting (off-the-job) and work-related training (on-the-job) on employment integration of benefit recipients.
Research design: We adopt a counterfactual approach by comparing a target group (treated) against a control group (19,899) extracted by means of propensity score matching and Mahalanobis distance matching among subjects who, while registered in the program over the years 2014–2016, had never benefited from it. The selection of about 7,175 recipients in the program and in each type of intervention was random. Subjects: About 30,000 job seekers made up of 3,911 interns, 2,945 trainees, and 319 recipients of training and internship within PIPOL. Target: Young people, Not in Education Employment or Trainings, and over 30s.
Measures: We look at different outcomes: employment tout court and employment in open-ended contracts.
Results: The overall net impact of PIPOL was equal to +5 pp on average. Specifically, impact results were classroom training none, internship sizable (+14.1 pp), and training combined with an internship, quite sizable (+9.6 pp). Furthermore, training to gain a qualification was the most effective (+6.4 pp) among those receiving combined training and internship. Internship also increased the chance to find permanent employment (+3 pp). Among recipients, women, immigrants, and low-skilled recipients registered the most sizable impact on finding employment and training in manufacturing and construction was more effective than elsewhere.
Conclusions: Italian young people have ever-increasing academic attainment but, due to the sequential nature of the education system, little work-related competences. This could explain the greater success of internships on classroom training.

The study is based on a mix of desk analysis, field analysis, questionnaires and interviews with Managing Authorities and Institutions holding relevant data, as well as econometrics. First, an exploratory analysis of available administrative data in each Member State of the EU was carried out. Then, three CIE pilot evaluations were produced, focusing on ESF operations for long-term unemployed (in Italy, Slovakia and Spain).
