Training and Performance in Small Firms (2006, background): “More specifi cally, in their macro study of returns to training, Dearden et al. (2000) point to diffi culties of endogeneity in cross-sectional studies and the effect of transitory shocks on training provision, where training may intensify during slack periods.”
Investment in Human Capital Through Post-Compulsory Education and Training: Selected Efficiency and Equity Aspects (2002, methodology): “Dearden et al. (2000), using industry-level data for the United Kingdom, suggest that a 5 percentage point increase in training incidence could lead to an increase in the level of labour productivity by 4 per cent.”
Workplace Training in Europe (2005, unknown): “23 Analysing a panel of British industries between 1983 and 1996, Dearden, Reed, and Van Reenen (2000) find that higher training is systematically associated with higher productivity.”
The return to firm investments in human capital (2008, result): “In particular, it is unlikely that we can just read the return to training from the coefficient on training in a production function.(28) The reason is that, unlike the case of schooling, direct (26)It is reassuring to see that, the results obtained using OLS on the sample of firms that is reported ”
The Impact of Training Intensity on Establishment Productivity (2006, unknown): “…estimation presented in the next section, external identifying variablesv have to be found that exert a significant influence on training intensity but not on productivity when conditioning on actual training as in equation (5) (compare Bartel, 2000 and Dearden, Reed and Van Reenen, 2000).”
Employee participation and productivity (2004, methodology): “The GMM-SYS estimator depends on the absence of second order serial correlation in the error term (Dearden, Reed and Van Reenen, 2000), while a negative first order correlation is consistent with the model assumptions.”
The return to firm investment in human capital (2005, unknown): “The few papers estimating the eﬀects of training on productivity have little or no mention of the costs of training (e.g. Bartel, 1991, 1994, 2000, Black and Lynch, 1998, Barret and O’Connell, 1999, Dearden, Reed and Van Reenen, 2005).”
The Impact of Training on Productivity and Wages: Evidence from British Panel Data (2005, methodology): “…the proportion of the year spent in training, we used the LFS panel which follows individuals 34Compared with existing UK estimates of the training effects on wages (e.g. Booth, 1993; Blundell et al., 1996), our estimates are actually lower (see Dearden et al., 2000, for a detailed comparison).”
