The Impact of Training Intensity on Establishment Productivity (2006, unknown): “Explanations for this worrying diversity seem to lie in differences between countries, labor market institutions and data generation on one hand, and in differences between the underlying estimation techniques on the other hand (Bartel, 2000).”
R&D, worker training and innovation: firm-level evidence (2016, unknown): “Other papers aim to quantify the contribution of training to rm productivity and they usually nd a positive impact (see the surveys of Blundell et al., 1999, and Bartel, 2000).”

The impact of employee perceptions of training on organizational commitment and turnover intentions: a study of multinationals in the Chinese service sector (2011, background): “Research suggests that investment in training can be justified by the contribution it makes to improved individual and organisational performance (Bartel, 2000).”
You Paid for the Skills, Now Keep Them: Tuition Reimbursement and Voluntary Turnover (2004, background): “This prediction has generated a long-standing debate among training and labor economics researchers over the relationship between development and turnover, and whether firms realize a return on their investments in employee development (for summaries, see Bartel [2000] and Bishop [1997]).”
Workplace Training in Europe (2005, unknown): “Bartel, 2000, provides a comprehensive review of the literature measuring the employer's rate of return, including case studies.”
Human capital matters: Market valuation of firm investments in training and the role of complementary assets (2017, background): “However, whether these human capital investments have a positive impact on firms’ financial performance is unclear (Almeida & Carneiro, 2009; Bartel, 2000; Frank & Obloj, 2014; Jones, Kalmi, & Kauhanen, 2012).”
Toward a More Comprehensive Model of Firms’ Human Capital Rents (2017, result): “To cite another example, labor market frictions may explain why, contrary to the received firmspecific human capital theory argument, empirical evidence suggests that firms generally garner sizable positive returns from investments in general skills training (e.g., Bartel, 2000).”
The return to firm investment in human capital (2005, unknown): “We estimate the model using the Blundell and Bond (1998, 2000) system GMM estimator (ﬁrst diﬀerencing eliminates η j and instrumenting accounts for possible further endogeneity of I jt ) .”
