TY - RPRT AU - Baert, Stijn TI - Wage Subsidies and Hiring Chances for the Disabled: Some Causal Evidence PY - 2014/Jul/ PB - Institute of Labor Economics (IZA) CY - Bonn T2 - IZA Discussion Paper IS - 8318 UR - https://www.iza.org/index.php/publications/dp8318 AB - We evaluate the effectiveness of wage subsidies as a policy instrument to integrate disabled individuals into the labour market. To identify causal effects, we conduct a large-scale field experiment in Belgium. Our results show that the likelihood of a disabled candidate receiving a positive response to a job application is not positively influenced by revealing entitlement to the Flemish Supporting Subsidy.
