We study the impact of barriers to entry on workplace training. Our theoretical model indicates that there are two … contrasting effects of deregulation on training. 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, thereby raising output and profit …

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

This paper uses firm level panel data of firm provided training to estimate its impact on productivity and wages. To … endogeneity of input factors and training is applied. The productivity premium for a trained worker is estimated at 23%, while the … wage premium of training is estimated at 12%. Our results give support to recent theories that explain work related …

We use the variation of training policy over time and across Italian regions to identify the relationship between … individual training and earnings. Using longitudinal data for the period 1999 to 2005, we find that the marginal effect of one … additional week of formal training on monthly earnings is 4.4 percent.
