Firm‐Sponsored General Training
分析在可分离生产技术和外部选择权工资决定下,企业和工人对一般培训和特殊培训的投资激励,发现企业为一般培训付费而工人获得全部回报,特殊培训的成本和收益由双方分担。
This article analyzes firm and worker's incentives to invest in general and specific training when these are separable in the production technology and wages are determined by the outside-option principle. It is shown that firms pay for general training, while workers receive the full return on it, and firms and workers share both the costs and benefits of specific training. The case of delayed general training is also studied. When general training is delayed, it is shown that the strategic complementarity between specific and general training increases the worker's incentives to invest in specific training.
