We use a search and matching model to investigate the economic relationship between training and local economic … between local knowledge spillovers and training generates a positive correlation with local density; on the other hand, the … negative influence of higher wages in denser areas reduces training. Overall the relationship can be either positive or …

We develop a theoretical and empirical analysis of the impact of barriers to entry on workplace training. Our … deregulation reduces profits per unit of output, and thereby reduces training. On the other hand, the number of firms increases …, and so does the output gain from training, which facilitates the investment in training. Our numerical simulation shows …

This paper investigates the relationship between education and training provided by the firm, both on the job and off … and negative relationship between educational attainment and on the job training and no significant relationship between … education and off the job training. We also find that education and training are technical complements, especially in the case …

We study the impact of regulatory barriers to entry on workplace training. We develop a model of training in … training. As stressed in the literature, with a given number of firms, deregulation reduces the size of rents per unit of … output that firms can reap by training their employees. Yet, the number of firms increases following deregulation, thereby …

When labor markets are imperfectly competitive, firms may be willing to finance general training if the wage structure … is compressed, that is, if the increase of productivity after training is greater than the increase in pay. We propose a … novel way of testing this proposition, which exploits the variation in training incidence and in the training wage premium …

We compare the training participation of pre- and post-reform cohorts of private sector employees and … estimate that adding one year to minimum retirement age increases training incidence by 6.9 to 10.7 percent, depending on the … empirical specification. We find that policies that increase the residual working horizon are effective in increasing training …

This paper is an empirical investigation of the complementarity between education and training in 13 European countries …, based on the European Community Household Panel (ECHP). After confirming the standard result that training incidence is … training incidence varies significantly across countries and birth cohorts. I show that individuals have a higher training …
