The Impact of Training on Earnings: Differences Between Participant Groups and Training Forms
Kuckulenz, Anja; Zwick, Thomas - 2003
While there is a broad literature on the general wage effect of training, little is known about the effects of different training forms and about the effects for heterogeneous training participants. This study therefore adds two aspects to the literature on earnings effects of training. First,...

Continuing Vocational Training in Germany: A Comparative Study Using 3 German Data Set
Kuckulenz, Anja - 2006
Empirical work on continuing training in Germany provides surprisingly divergent evidence on the incidence of training. This makes comparison of econometric analyses of the impact of training on labour market outcomes di?cult. Three large German data sets are used here to bring to light the data...
