Abstract: |
This paper explores whether investments in information and communication
技术(ICT)和公司�赞助培训专业grammes are complementary.
Three approaches are applied to panel data from German service
companies for the time period 1994�98. Results for a system of interrelated
factor demands indicate that training complements ICT but not other capital
goods. SYS�GMM estimates of production functions reveal that ICT capital
is most productive if complemented by training measures in skill�intensive
firms. Comparing the impacts on productivity and wage costs shows that
ICT raise the profitability of training high�skilled employees. |
