The Effects of Training on Own and Co-Worker Productivity : Evidence from a Field Experiment

de Grip, Andries - 2011

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....

Profit Sharing and Workplace Productivity : Does Teamwork Play a Role?

Long, Richard J. - 2014

The conditions under which profit sharing affects workplace productivity have never been fully understood. Using panel data, this paper examines whether there is any link between adoption of an employee profit sharing plan and subsequent productivity growth in Canadian establishments, and...

The Impact of Teams on Output, Quality and Downtime : An Empirical Analysis Using Individual Panel Data

Jones, Derek C.; Kato, Takao - 2021

, typically at 10 to 16% per 100 days in a team; (iv) while initially teams lead to more downtime, these costs diminish over time …; (v) the performance-enhancing effects of team membership are generally greater and more long-lasting for team members who … are solicited by management; and (vi) similar relationships exist for more educated team members. These findings square …

Employer Learning and the 'Importance' of Skills

Light, Audrey - 2012

We ask whether the role of employer learning in the wage-setting process depends on skill type and skill importance to productivity. Combining data from the NLSY79 with O*NET data, we use Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery scores to measure seven distinct types of pre-market skills that...

Education and Growth with Learning by Doing

Marconi, Gabriele - 2015

We develop a general equilibrium overlapping generations model which is based on the view that education makes workers more productive by increasing their ability to learn from work experience, rather than providing skills that directly increase productivity. One important implication of the...

Does Employer Learning Vary by Schooling Attainment? The Answer Depends on How Career Start Dates are Defined

Light, Audrey - 2014

We demonstrate that empirical evidence of employer learning is sensitive to how one defines the career start date and, in turn, measures cumulative work experience. Arcidiacono, Bayer, and Hizmo (2010) find evidence of employer learning for high school graduates but not for college graduates,...

The Speed of Employer Learning and Job Market Signaling Revisited

Habermalz, Steffen - 2021

This paper discusses the claim made in Altonji and Pierret (1997) and Lange (2005) that a high speed of employer learning indicates a low value of job market signaling. The claim is first discussed intuitively in light of Spence's original model and then evaluated in a simple extension of a...

Employer Learning and the Returns to Schooling

Bauer, Thomas K.; Haisken-DeNew, John P. - 2021

We examine the dynamic role of education and experience as determinants of wages. It is hypothesized that an employee's education is an important signal to the employer initially. Over time, the returns to schooling should decrease with labor market experience and increase with initially...

Approaches to Learn About Employer Learning

Ablay, Mahmut; Lange, Fabian - 2022

The empirical literature on employer learning assumes that employers learn about unobserved ability differences across workers as they spend time in the labor market. This article describes testable implications that arise from this basic hypothesis and how they have been used to quantify the...

Employer Learning, Productivity and the Earnings Distribution : Evidence from Performance Measures

Kahn, Lisa B. - 2010

Two ubiquitous empirical regularities in pay distributions are that the variance of wages increases with experience, and innovations in wage residuals have a large, unpredictable component. The leading explanations for these patterns are that over time, either firms learn about worker...
