As suggested by human capital theory, workers with flexible contracts participate less often intraining than those with permanent contracts. We find that this is merely due to the fact thatflexworkers receive less employer–funded training, a gap they can only partly compensate for bytheir own...

This paper greatly enriches the discussion on the determinants of lifelong learning of scientists and engineers (S&Es). In our analysis, which is based on a survey among S&Es in the Netherlands, we take account of both formal training and different modes of informal learning. We find that S&Es...

This paper develops a theoretical model in which the level of training provided by a firm is not observed by workers. It is therefore not possible to have training wages completely contingent upon the level of training provided. Training wages will be too high. This, in turn, prevents firms from...
