- Abstract
Analyses Polish active labour market policy programmes (ALMP) from a macroeconomic (regional) point of view. The effects of training programmes on the outflows from unemployment into employment and the effects of all ALMP programmes on the outflows from employment into unemployment (to identify displacement effects) are estimated. The empirical evidence gives no support to the view that public training programmes can be used to reduce unemployment, and there is no robust evidence for displacement effects by any ALMP programme. The result that start-up loans can reduce flows from employment into unemployment is only weakly significant.
