Firm Sponsored Training and Productivity in Morocco
基于摩洛哥约500家企业的数据，研究发现培训强度对中小企业生产率有显著正向影响，并控制了企业异质性和选择偏差。
ABSTRACT Using a sample of around 500 large and small firms covering six industries in Morocco, the article investigates the relationship between a firm's training decision in 1999 and labour productivity in subsequent years. The analytical framework allows output to depend on unobserved-time-invariant firm characteristics and assumes that technical progress depends on training. Controlling for unobserved heterogeneity among firms and correcting for potential self-selection and endogeneity bias, the estimation shows that the intensity of training has a significant and positive impact on productivity in small and medium enterprises. The finding is robust to the introduction of various control variables.
