Fitzenberger, Bernd; Osikominu, Aderonke; Paul, Marie - 2010
This paper estimates the impact of training incidence and duration on employment transitions accounting for the … endogeneity of program participation and duration. We specify a very flexible bivariate random effects probit model for employment … and training participation and we use Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) techniques for estimation. We develop a …
