The Impact of Hiring Costs for Skilled Workers on Apprenticeship Training: A Comparative Study | Manuel Aepli @SamMuehlemann Harald Pfeifer, Jürg Schweri, Felix Wenzelmann, Stefan C. Wolte #EconTwitter cesifo.org/en/publication…

Manuel Aepli, @SamMuehlemann, Harald Pfeifer, @SchweriJurg, Felix Wenzelmann, Stefan Wolter identify a hiring cost elasticity of apprenticeship contracts for Swiss firms, meaning that firms facing a tightness-related increase in hiring costs in turn train more apprentices.

In new research we find that German firms adjust hiring standards, not wages, in response to labor market tightness, which affects pre- and post-match hiring costs: t.ly/FobUH #SkilledWorkerShortages #HiringStandards #HiringCosts

In new research, we find that Swiss firms strongly expand apprenticeship training if tight labor markets make hiring more costly. German firms also react, but less so: @iza_bonn t.ly/M0f3X #Apprenticeships #HiringCosts

Last days to submit to International Conference on Vocational Education and Training. Want to present your research in Switzerland in June? Submit until Feb. 28, 2022.

My paper "Business Cycles and Apprenticeships" (joint with Stefan Wolter) is now out in the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Economics and Finance. Business cycle effects are moderate on average, but there is substantial heterogeneity across countries: doi.org/10.1093/acrefo…

Our paper on supply shocks in the market for apprenticeship training is now out in the Economics of Education Review. Positive supply shocks due to a school reform in Germany led to more apprenticeships contracts, but had no effects on apprentice wages doi.org/10.1016/j.econ…

New EENEE Ad hoc Report: The Impact of COVID-19 on Apprenticeship Markets bit.ly/3wmIWbx #apprenticeship #COVID19 #EENEE

Lehren aus #Corona für Nachfrage nach Auszubildenden in DE: 1) Subventionen für Ausbildungsplätze ineffizient, weil zu breit gestreut & zu gering 2) Künftige Nachfragestabilisierung durch Flexibilisierung von schulischen & betrieblichen Ausbildungszeiten #page=21" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">ifo.de/DocDL/sd-2020-…

@KuestnerK Interessante und wichtige Story. Ausbildungsprämien für Betriebe, die nur einen kleinen Teil der (Netto)Ausbildungskosten decken waren in der Vergangenheit leider wenig effektiv und führten zu hohen Mitnahmeeffekten (unser Beitrag dazu hier auf S. 19-22: ifo.de/publikationen/…)

Ausbildung trotz #Corona - Bundesregierung will mehr Betriebe dazu bewegen, die Prämien abzurufen und senkt Hürden für die Hilfen. Unsere Exklusiv-Story👇 #CoronaVirusDE tagesschau.de/wirtschaft/cor…
