Abstract

This study presents evidence on the relationship between employer-provided training and productivity. The important contributions of this study are its comparison of the relative contribution of training to productivity and wages and its distinction between manufacturing and service firms. The results indicate that training significantly contributes to the labor productivity, particularly for firms in the service sector. The elasticities of productivity and wages to training stock are similar in size, meaning that the returns to firms’ training investments are shared by their workers in proportion to the wage share of the value-added.

雇主提供的培训和生产力:来自一组日本公司的证据

本研究提供了雇主提供的培训与生产力之间关系的证据。本研究的重要贡献在于比较了培训对生产率和工资的相对贡献，并对制造业和服务业进行了区分。结果表明，培训对劳动生产率有显著的促进作用，特别是对服务部门的企业。生产率和工资对培训库存的弹性在规模上是相似的，这意味着企业培训投资的回报是由工人按照增值的工资份额的比例分享的。
