Delayed Formal On-the-Job Training
本文利用当前人口调查和全国青年纵向调查数据，发现延迟的正式在职培训是常态而非例外，雇主倾向于向流动性低的员工提供培训。
Because the employer and the firm incur a loss when a trained worker changes jobs, it appears probable that on-the-job training is selectively provided to workers who are less likely to change jobs. Furthermore, if there is belated information about employees' future mobility, it may be optimal to delay training, even if doing so means forgoing the returns to training during the early part of the employment relationship. The training literature, however, assumes that training is concentrated at the beginning of the employment relationship. The authors of this paper examine the relationship between tenure and the probability of ever having received training using data from the Current Population Survey and the National Longitudinal Surveys of Youth. Their findings indicate that delayed formal training is the norm rather than the exception.
