520 $a Training programs are a major tool of labor market policies in OECD countries. By improving workers' human capital, they intend to help integrate unemployed workers back to employment.
520 $a In Chapter 1, I develop and estimate a dynamic model of search and training participation decisions in a search framework to study the effects of the policies regarding training programs and unemployment benefits on an economy's unemployment, employment and output levels.
520 $a The model extends McCall (QJE, 1970) and Ljungqvist and Sargent (JPE, 1998) by incorporating a training decision and a broader menu of unemployment benefits. Government-sponsored training programs feature a key trade-off with respect to unemployment insurance programs: they offer more generous unemployment benefits but require more time and effort from workers to generate higher skills. As a result, unemployed workers with different human capital and benefits make different decisions about training, search, and job acceptance.
520 $a I use the model to quantitatively study the recent reforms implemented in Germany and run more counterfactual experiments. I simulate the transition path under back-to-back unexpected reforms in 2003-2006 and find the dynamics of the model's unemployment rates are close to the data. In a counterfactual experiment in which I model an economy with a German-like training system and a US-like unemployment benefit structure (roughly, benefits are lower), I find that employment and output rise substantially.
520 $a In Chapter 2, I outline and discuss several possible extensions to the model I developed in Chapter 1. These include (1) an economy which allows risk-averse workers to save in an incomplete asset market; (2) an economy in which agents in different ages have different search and training decisions; and (3) an economy that endogenizes the wage distribution and the demand side.
