But are private contractors better at providing these services? We use a randomized experiment to empirically assess the effectiveness of contracting out employment services to private placement agencies. Our results show that unemployed at private placement agencies have a closer interaction with their case worker than unemployed at the Public Employment Service (PES); e.g., they receive more assistance in improving their job search technology. We do not find any overall difference in the chances of finding employment between private placement agencies and the PES, but this hides important heterogeneities across different types of unemployed. In particular, private providers are better at providing employment services to immigrants, whereas they may be worse for adolescents. Any effects tend to fade away over time.

Finanspolitiska rådet är en myndighet som har till uppgift att göra en oberoende granskning av regeringens finanspolitik. Rådets uppgifter fullföljs framför allt genom publiceringen av rapporten Svensk finanspolitik som lämnas till regeringen en gång per år. Rapporten ska kunna användas som ett underlag bland annat för riksdagens granskning av regeringens politik. Som ett led i uppdraget anordnar rådet även konferenser och utger skrifter om olika aspekter på finanspolitiken. I serien Studier i finanspolitik publiceras fördjupade studier eller rapporter som härrör från externa uppdrag. Finanspolitiska rådet
