This study analyzes the employment effects of training in East Germany. We propose and apply an extension of the widely used conditional difference-in-differences estimator. Focusing on transition rates between nonemployment and employment, we take into account that employment is a state- and...

We consider a cross-section model that contains an individual component, a deterministic time trend and an unobserved latent common time series component. We show the following oracle property: the parameters of the latent time series and the parameters of the deterministic time trend can be...
