Determinanten der betrieblichen Weiterbildung

Abstract

"The paper develops a 'holisitic' approach to the further education and training behaviour of corporations, which is founded an the transaction cost approach. Investments in further education depend an contextual factors, i.e. the company's investment in material and immaterial assets, its labour relations and its staff structure. The empirical analysis was conducted based an data from the IAB establishment panel. The findings of probit and tobit estimates confirmed the theoretical results, whereas only a few variables were significant, if OLS estimates (for companies participating in further training) were used. This indicates that the decisions an the participation in further training and the intensity thereof are taken simultaneously. Therefore a one-phase estimate is most suitable."
