Occupational Mobility and the Returns to Training Canadian Journal of Economics 53,1 (February 2020): 174-211. Also: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/caje.12421 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Canadian Economics Association / Association canadienne d\'economiques Keyword(s): Mobility, Occupational; Occupations; Training; Training, Employee; Wages Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The literature on the returns to training has pointed out that, immediately following a training episode, wages of participants in employer‐sponsored training increase substantially while wages of participants in government‐sponsored training hardly change. We argue that there is a potential selection issue--most of the government‐sponsored trainees are occupation switchers while most participants in employer‐sponsored training are occupation stayers. An occupational switch involves a substantial destruction of human capital, and once we account for the associated decline in wages, we find a large positive impact of both employer‐ and government‐sponsored training on workers' human capital. |
