This paper studies the probability of receiving employer-paid training and training independently of who finance it for … Chile reduces the probability of receiving employer-paid training. We also find that this deficit is not compensated by … other types of training. This finding is important for two reasons. First, the proportion of temporary workers that obtain …

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 …

This paper considers training, mobility decisions and wages together to test for the specificity of human capital … contained in continuing training courses. We empirically analyse the relationship between training, mobility and wages in two … ways. First, we examine the correlation between training and mobility. In a second step, we consider wage effects of …

Results for a system of interrelated factor demands indicate that training complements ICT but not other capital goods.
