This paper explores the potential of an approach suggested by Manski of obtaining nonparametric bounds for treatment effects in evaluation studies without knowledge of the participation process. The practical concern is the effects of continuous vocational training in East Germany. The empirical...

Management control in training institutions is still a missing topic in theoretical and empirical management control research. Therefore the following article presents a framework of management control in training institutions based on the main terms discussed in this context. To illustrate and...

Several studies of training evaluation have failed to confirm the hierarchy relationship of reaction, learning, and behavior to results because of the difficulty of evaluating training. Furthermore, research in this area has tended to downplay the importance of level one (reaction) evaluation....

This study discusses an evaluation model carried out in vocational training contexts and draws from a line of studies that have analyzed the processes of meaning construction according to a semiotic and contextual perspective (Freda, 2011; Freda & De Luca Picione, 2014; Salvatore & Freda, 2011; Salvatore &...

This paper explores the potential of an approach suggested by Manski to obtain nonparametric bounds of treatment effects in evaluation studies without knowledge of the participation process.

Technical education and training is now interested by a reform process, trying to integrate the different paths that a student can follow to get a technical degree: the professional schools and training courses. Another challenge is that of integrating in the new system the lessons coming from...
