According to Becker [1964], when labour markets are perfectly competitive, general training is paid by the worker, who … reaps all the benefits from the investment. Therefore, ceteris paribus, the greater the training wage premium, the greater … the investment in general training. Using data from the European Community Household Panel, we compute a proxy of the …

Furthermore, in line with recent non …-competitive training models, higher levels of wage compression (measured in absolute or relative terms) are positively related to training. …

We use British household panel data to explore the wage returns to training incidence and intensity (duration) for 6924 … employees. We find these returns differ greatly depending on the nature of the training (general or specific); who funds the … training (employee or employer); and the skill levels of the recipient (white or blue collar).
