Sector-Specific on-the-Job Training: Evidence from U.S. Data
Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY), we re-examine the effect of formal on-the-job training on mobility patterns of young American workers. By employing parametric duration models, we evaluate the economic impact of training on productive time with an employer. Confirming previous studies, we find a positive and statistically significant impact of formal on-the-job ...
متن کاملOn the Job Training
We propose a new framework for building and evaluating machine learning algorithms. We argue that many real-world problems require an agent which must quickly learn to respond to demands, yet can continue to perform and respond to new training throughout its useful life. We give a framework for how such agents can be built, describe several metrics for evaluating them, and show that subtle chan...
متن کاملOn-the-Job-Training
The analysis of how individuals obtain and are paid for their skills is fundamental to labor economics. The basic idea of human capital theory is that workers and firms invest in workers’ skills in order to increase their productivity, much as persons invest in financial or physical assets to earn income. Workers develop many skills through formal education not tied to an employer, but an impor...
متن کاملEfficient Job Allocation∗
This paper considers equilibrium directed search with a finite number of heterogeneous workers and firms, where firms compete in direct mechanisms. Unlike previous findings, Nash equilibrium here does solve the problem of coordination failure. Restricting the match value function to be supermodular, and that firms use truthful strategies also imply positive assortative matching and decentralize...
متن کاملMinimum Wages and On-the-job Training
Becker’s theory of human capital predicts that minimum wages should reduce training investments for affected workers because they prevent these workers from taking wage cuts necessary to finance training. In contrast, in noncompetitive labor markets, minimum wages tend to increase training of affected workers because they induce firms to train their unskilled employees. We provide new estimates...
