Dividing the Costs and Returns to General Training
利用全国青年纵向调查数据,发现雇主常承担一般培训的显性成本,但培训后工资效应因支付方不同而异,合同执行问题可解释这一现象。
Data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth indicate that the employer often pays the explicit costs of not only on-site training but also off-site general training. Although few of these costs appear to be passed on to workers in the form of a lower wage while in training, completed spells of general training paid for by previous employers have a larger wage effect than completed spells of general training paid for by the current employer. A model where contract enforcement considerations cause employers to share the costs and returns to purely general training can explain these findings. Copyright 1998 by University of Chicago Press.
