This paper investigates whether on-the-job training has an effect on the employability of workers. Using data from the … Netherlands we disentangle the true effect of training incidence from the spurious one determined by unobserved individual … receiving firm-provided training. We find that firm-provided training significantly increases future employment prospects. This …

This paper develops a joint evaluation of vocational training and unemployment insurance. This allows to analyze how … general equilibrium matching model is built where workers are heterogeneous and risk averse. Heterogeneity allows to look at … these schemes. The net effect of these training programs appears to be gloomy. However, their impact on employment can be …

there is nowadays much simpler than in the past. Search-matching externalities are amplified by this possibility and by the … expected, increasing matching effectiveness in the other region yields growing regional unemployment rates. We characterize the …

This paper provides a simple matching model in which unemployed workers and employers can be matched together trough …

and the Beveridge curve. We build a stochastic dynamic general equilibrium matching model, which assumes failures in the … matching between vacancies and unemployed. We calibrate the model for the Spanish economy and simulate it considering two …
