An Evaluation of Public-Sector-Sponsored Continuous Vocational Training Programs in East Germany
Abstract
This study analyses the effects of public-sector-sponsored continuous vocational training\nand retraining in East Germany after unification with West Germany in 1990. It presents\neconometric estimates of the average gains from training participation in terms of\nemployment probabilities, earnings, and career prospects after the completion of training\nusing a matching approach. The data is from the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP,\n1990-1996). The GSOEP allows the researcher to observe individual behavior on a monthly\nor on a yearly basis. The results suggest that despite large public expenditures there are no\npositive effects in the first years after training.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
