Estimating the Returns to Firm-Sponsored On-the-Job and Classroom Training
利用加拿大纵向员工-企业匹配数据，估算企业资助的课堂培训和在职培训对每个工人增加值的回报，发现在职培训大多不提高生产率，而课堂培训内容更有效。
I estimate returns to firm-sponsored classroom and on-the-job training in terms of value added per worker using longitudinal linked employee-employer Canadian data. I find that a large fraction of on-the-job training is not productivity enhancing and may be best thought of as part of the cost related to turnover. Also, I find that the subjects covered in classroom training are more productivity enhancing. In terms of human capital accumulation, this means that less attention should be paid to the choice between the two types of training and more focus should rest on the subjects covered in training.
