Resumo(s)
This study provides evidence on the take up of various active labor market policies (ALMP)by firms in Portugal in period 2012-2015 and compares with both official statistics and past studies. Additionally, there is a tentative approach to measure the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of “Estágio Emprego”,an ALMP, used as a case study, by analyzing the relation between firm size and sales in the sector most benefited by this program. In general, the data confirmed that “Estágio Emprego”, an employment traineeship, is used mostly by firms in the services sector with most of the hired workers being more qualified, and “Estímulo”, a hiring credit, is used mainly by manufacturing and commerce sectors to hire less qualified and/or disadvantaged workers. Weal so found a positive effect of log(employment) on log(sales) although differing with specification.
