An event history approach to the evaluation of training, recruitment and employment programmes
结合准实验设计与随机过程模型，评估培训、招聘和就业项目对工人的影响，发现项目对老年工人无效，女性和少数族裔工人受益最大，且就业项目效果最好。
Abstract In this paper I evaluate a number of training, recruitment and employment programmes. The evaluation method is a combination of a quasi‐experimental design (a simple pre‐treatment‐post‐treatment design) and a stochastic process model to describe the response variables. I conclude that the programmes have no effect on older workers. Female and minority workers benefit most from the programmes. The training programmes are less effective than the recruitment programmes, which are in turn less effective than the employment programmes.
