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 …

analyse the incidence and duration of employee training in Britain. We find training to be positively associated with having a …-time or fixed-term employment statuses are all associated with less training. 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. …

firm training have thus far not been considered. This paper is trying to bridge this gap by using a simple two period model … to previous work this is not sufficient to increase firms' training investments. The reason lies in the endogeneity of …

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 …

wage compression and training incidence in 11 European countries. I find that, after controlling for individual factors and … compression and training. This positive relationship is confirmed when I consider only general training. While the former finding … is consistent with both competitive and non - competitive approaches to training, the latter result is only consistent …

wage compression and training incidence in 11 European countries. After controlling for individual factors and country … training, both firm-specific and general. While the finding for firm-specific training is consistent with both competitive and … non-competitive approaches, the result for general training is only consistent with the non-competitive approach. …

We analyze the short-run impact of the introduction of the new statutory minimum wage in Germany on further training at … reduction in the training incidence but a slight reduction in the intensity of training at treated establishments. Effect … heterogeneities reveal that the negative impact is mostly driven by employer-financed training. On the worker level, we observe a …

We investigate the role of training in reducing the gender wage gap using the UK-BHPS which contains detailed records … of training. Using policy changes over an 18 year period we identify the impact of training and work experience on wages … of formal training and experience in defining the evolution of wages and employment careers, conditional on education …

This paper establishes that the rise in employer-provided training due to technological change has dampened the college … wage premium. Using unique survey micro-data, I show that hightechnology firms provide more training overall, but the gap … in training participation between high- and low-skill workers is smaller within these firms.
