Abstract

Abstract: Support schemes for unemployed persons which aim at becoming self-employed have been recently reformed several times. In 2003, the “start-up-subsidy” (Existenzgründungszuschuss) was added to the existing “bridging-allowance” (Überbrückungsgeld) and the two programs together led to a strong increase in the number of supported start-ups. In 2006 both instruments were merged to the “start-up allowance” (Gründungszuschuss). Since the bridging allowance has been evaluated as effective and efficient and the start-up-subsidy reached new target groups, the latest reform shows several shortcomings. First of all, an end of the start-up boom is to be expected with the newly attracted target groups not being reached anymore. Secondly, the design of the “start-up allowance” is suboptimal, where efficiency losses can be expected if participants aim at maximizing social transfers. First empirical evidence from data of 2007 supports most of these expectations.
