This paper attempts an evaluation of the employment and wage effects of training supported by public income maintenance outside of a firm. After describing the labor market developments in East Germany, we illustrate the evaluation problem. Then, we estimate a simultaneous model for participation in training, employment, and wages. Taking account of selection effects before participation, our findings mostly suggest positive though only partially significant long-run effects of training on employment or wages. - Reproduced Public sector - East Germany Training - East Germany Training Prey, Hedwig Oxford Economic Papers 45570 45570 45570 0 0 0 0 IIPA IIPA 2018-07-19 Volume no: 52, Issue no: 3 AR45993 2018-07-19 2018-07-19 AR
