摘要

Data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth indicate that the employer often pays the explicit costs of not-only on-site training but also off-site general training. Although few of these costs appear to be passed on to workers in the form of a lower wage while in training, completed spells of general training paid for by previous employers have a larger wage effect than completed spells of general training paid for by the current-employer, A model where contract enforcement considerations cause employers to share the costs and returns to purely general training can explain these findings.
