General training by firms, apprentice contracts, and public policy

Malcomson, James M.; Maw, James W.; McCormick, Barry - 2002

Workers will not pay for general on-the-job training if contracts are not enforceable. Firms may if there are mobility frictions. Private information about worker productivities, however, prevents workers who quit receiving their marginal products elsewhere. Their new employers then receive...

The same result persists under inﬁnite-horizon learning …, given that agents are still remarkably far-sighted. But, under Euler-equation learning, the model can ﬁt the data with only …

The wider benefits of adult learning : work-related training and social capital

Ruhose, Jens; Thomsen, Stephan L.; Weilage, Insa - 2018

We propose a regression-adjusted matched difference-in-differences framework to estimate non-pecuniary returns to adult education. This approach combines kernel matching with entropy balancing to account for selection bias and sorting on gains. Using data from the German SOEP, we evaluate the...

Market failures and the under-provision of training

Brunello, Giorgio; De Paola, Maria - 2004

This paper reviews both the theoretical underpinnings and the empirical evidence in support of the under-provision of training. While there is little if any evidence in support of underprovision because of liquidity constraints to the demand side of the market, there is evidence that employers...

Quick job entry or long-term human capital development? : the dynamic effects of alternative training schemes

Osikominu, Aderonke - 2012

This paper investigates how precisely short-term, job-search oriented training programs as opposed to long-term, human capital intensive training programs work. We evaluate and compare their effects on time until job entry, stability of employment, and earnings. Further, we examine the...
