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 …

combination with continuous training. Based on German micro data, we find empirical evidence in support of training leading to … innovation within a multivariate regression framework. However, when instrumenting training by the existence of a union …

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 …

We hypothesize that, by linking into an … training because of wage compression due to firm-specificity and asymmetric information, and analyse it under both commitment … and no commitment to training provision. Drawing on the model, we provide evidence that the German apprenticeship system …

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 …

Our main … training. The effect on suggestions is however only short term. Promotion probabilities are largest directly after training but …

how a firm’s training propensity correlated with its labour productivity. To this end, we specified an equation for … training propensity and an equation for labour productivity, which included as an additional production factor the endogenized …
