We evaluate the effects of employer-provided formal training on employee suggestions for productivity improvements and … company allow us to address issues such as unobserved heterogeneity and the length of potential training effects. Our main … training. The effect on suggestions is however only short term. Promotion probabilities are largest directly after training but …

This paper analyses the effects of work-related training on worker productivity. To identify the causal effects from … training, we combine a field experiment that randomly assigns workers to treatment and control groups with panel data on … individual worker performance before and after training. We find that participation in the training programme leads to a 10 …

analyze the effect of age on the probability of participating in different employer-financed training measures. We find that … training participation probabilities are inverted u-shaped with age and that longer training measures are undertaken earlier in …

The objective of this paper is to model and estimate the impact of labour training financed by the firm on labour … demand in Belgium, introducing training potential productivity and cost effects. To model this influence, we assume profit … maximizing firms producing under a short run monopolistic competition regime. We emphasize that training variables, both …

Drawing on the model, we provide evidence that the German apprenticeship system …
