@techreport{Jahn2005Contracting,
abstract = {Since 2003 the German Public Employment Service (PES) has been experimenting with the
contracting out of various services. One of the new labour market programmes is the
Personnel Service Agencies, which provide client firms with jobseekers on a temporary
assignment basis and are responsible for integrating jobseekers into non-subsidised
employment. By contracting out employment services, the PES seeks to exploit efficiency
gains characteristic of enterprises that compete in quasi-markets. In order to integrate
jobseekers as rapidly as possible, a result-oriented system of incentives has been developed.
This paper describes the institutional setting and examines its appropriateness for efficient job
placement services.},
