Abstract
In this paper we analyse the effect of ihe Restart programme in the United Kingdom. This
programme consisis of an interview of tbe long-term unemployed to counsel them on effective job
search. Failure to attend the interview carries the threat of the cessation of unemployment benefits.
The results, using experimental data, indicate that the programme has a significant effect of
reducing unemployment duration. Estimation of an independent competing risks model
distinguishing between exits from unemployment to: a job, a training placement or to signing-off
unemployment benefit shows that the channels through which Restart works differs according to
exit type.
