The importance of informal learning at work : on-the-job learning is more important for workers' human capital development than formal training

Grip, Andries de - 2024

Although early human capital theory recognized the relevance of workers' experience, its focus was on education and formal training. More recent studies show that much of the performance of newly hired workers is driven by learning by doing or learning from peers or supervisors in the workplace....

Intangible assets and imperfections in product and labor markets

Bartelsman, Eric J.; Dobbelaere, Sabien; Zona Mattioli, … - 2026

This paper develops a micro-founded framework linking price-cost and wage markups to intangible assets. Intangible assets, once created, are a source of firm rents. Owing to limits to enforceable ownership and the non-rival nature of knowledge, these rents can be both retained by the origin firm...

Wage dispersion, on-the-job search, and stochastic match productivity : a mean field game approach
