abstract: 'Turning unemployment into self-employment has become an increasingly
important part of active labor market policies (ALMP) in many OECD
countries. Germany is a good example where the spending on start-up
subsidies for the unemployed accounted for nearly 17\% of the total
spending on ALMP in 2004. In contrast to other programs like vocational
training, job creation schemes, or wage subsidies the empirical evidence
on the effectiveness of such schemes is still scarce: especially
regarding long-term effects and effect heterogeneity. This paper aims to
close this gap. We use administrative and survey data from a large
sample of participants in two distinct start-up programs and a control
group of unemployed individuals. We find that over 80\% of participants
are integrated in the labor market and have relatively high labor income
five years after start-up. Additionally, participants are much more
satisfied with their current occupational situation compared to previous
jobs. Based on propensity score matching methods we estimate the
long-term effects of the programs against non-participation and take
great care in assessing the sensitivity of our results with respect to
deviations from the identifying assumption. Our results turn out to be
robust and show that both programs are effective with respect to income
and employment outcomes in the long-run, i.e., five years after
start-up. Moreover, we consider effect heterogeneity with respect to
several dimensions and show that startup subsidies for the unemployed
tend to be most effective for disadvantaged groups in the labor market.
