We estimate the productivity- and wage-returns to firm-provided training in a panel of French Firms. We find positive and significant returns to training on productivity. For instance, an increase in training intensity by 150 Euros per worker increases a firms labor productivity by 0.4 %....

L'étude empirique proposée dans cet article s'inscrit dans la lignée des travaux portant sur les effets des choix résidentiels sur la qualité de l’insertion professionnelle sur le marché du travail. Elle se concentre en particulier sur la population en emploi et cherche à connaître...

The paper focuses on the effects of formal and informal on-the-job training on wages and promotions for men and women. For that purpose, we use the 1999-2000 Canadian Worplace and Employee Survey (WES). Using a simulated maximum likelihood, we estimate a recursive trivariate probit that...

Nous proposons, dans cet article, une analyse formelle de la relation formation-croissance dans cinq économies de l'OCDE, fondée sur la notion de qualifications intermédiaires et intégrant la forte dimension institutionnelle de cette variable. Celle-ci apparaît en effet déterminée par les...

We compare public sector wages with private firm ones in 2000, without taking into account for work intensity, job security, advantages&The comparison is made in controlling for age, sex, qualification and residence. We find evidence that public sector provides higher wages to women, to...

The long-term equilibrium unemployment rate has returned to the center of the economic debate in France. It derives from two macroeconomic equations. Wages are the result of wage bargaining on the labor market (wage-setting equation) and firms set the corresponding level of employment...

This paper studies changes in wage differentials accross education groups for full-time male workers in the French private sector, from 1976 to 2004. We apply quantile regressions to Mincer-type equations to disentangle between- and within-education group wage inequalities, and we describe...

In this study, we provide an estimation of the average age-productivity profile in the French private sector. The relative productivity of groups of workers is estimated through the relationship between a firms productivity and the age structure of its labour force. We find that productivity...
