Support of training has been one of the most important instruments of active labor market policy in East Germany. This paper attempts an evaluation of the effects of training on future employment and future wages of trainees. The analysis distinguishes between measures within and outside of the...

This paper is concerned with the effects of training on the future employment probability of trainees. During the transformation process of the East German economy after reunification, employment decreased by a large amount. Therefore, many workers in East Germany participated in training...

The incidence of employment interruptions and temporary part-time work has grown strongly among full-time workers, yet little is known about the impact on wage inequality. This is the first study showing that such episodes play a substantial role for the rise in inequality of full-time wages,...

German social security records involve an indicator for part-time or full-time work. In 2011, the reporting procedure was changed suggesting that a fraction of worker recorded to be working full-time before the change were in fact part-time workers. This study develops a correction based on...

This study revisits the increase in wage inequality in Germany. Accounting for changes in various sets of observables, composition changes explain a large part of the increase in wage inequality among full-time workers. The composition effects are larger for females than for males, and...

In Westdeutschland stieg zwischen 1980 und 2010 die Lohnungleichheit von Vollzeitbeschäftigten deutlich an. Der Anstieg beschränkte sich zunächst auf den oberen Bereich der Lohnverteilung und setzte sich ab Mitte der 1990er Jahre sowohl im oberen als auch im unteren Bereich der Lohnverteilung...

To explore whether changes in the selection into full-time work among German men were a driver in the rise in wage inequality since the mid-1990s, we propose a modification of selection-corrected quantile regressions. Addressing Huber and Melly’s (J Appl Econom 30(7):1144–1168, 2015)...
