Abstract

Dieser Aufsatz fasst Resultate aus einem einzigartigen Experiment mit Weiterbildungsgutscheinen zusammen. Im Jahr 2006 wurden 2'400 Personen ein Weiterbildungsgutschein zugestellt, der sie zur Bezahlung einer frei gewaehlten Weiterbildung berechtigte. Das Nutzungsverhalten kann mit einer Kontrollgruppe von rund 14'000 Personen verglichen werden. Die Durchfuehrung des Feldexperimentes garantierte, dass sowohl Experimental-, wie Kontrollgruppe in ihrem natuerlichen Umfeld beobachtet werden konnten und sich nicht bewusst waren Teil eines Experimentes zu sein. Das Experiment zeigt, dass der Gutschein kausal eine Steigerung der Weiterbildungsbeteiligung von fast 20% bewirkt hat. Allerdings wird diese Steigerung mit einem Mitnahmeeffekt von ueber 60% erkauft, welcher die Effizienz der Massnahme in Frage stellt.
