dc.description.abstractThis article investigates the determinants and effects of firm-based training in Spain. We focus on the following questions: (1) Are there appreciable differences between firms which provide training and firms which do not? (2) Does the proportion of workers who receive training have a significant effect on firms' productivity and wages? In seeking quantitative answers to these relatively unexplored questions, we use a sample of sorne six hundred medium-and large-sized firms. Our main results indicate that larger firms and those undergoing technological change are more likely to provide their work force with formal training. By estimating a production function, we also find evidence of the positive and significant effects of formal training on labor productivity and wages. However, when training is treated as an endogenous variable the specified production function or the wage equation, such positive effects are no longer significant•
