“…In the absence of a multivariate analysis, however, it is difficult to attribute this decline to the economic downturn, because other factors could matter, including changes in industrial composition and long term trend effects 16 . In contrast, Jaconebbinghaus et al (2008) show that the percentage of apprentices during the downturn of the early 2000 was quite stable, which they interpret as showing that German business does not show less inclination to train apprentices during bad times. Schweri and Mueller (2008) use Swiss firm data for the years 1995, 1998, 2001 and 2005 and find that the percentage of training firms is positively correlated to average GDP growth in the past three years.…”

The existing empirical evidence on the relationship between apprenticeships, initial workplace training and economic downturns, is relatively scarce. The bottom line of this literature is that ratio of apprentices to employees tends to be (mildly) pro-cyclical and to decline during a recession, with the notable exception of the Great Depression, when it rose (at least in England). When broader measures of training are considered, which exclude apprentices, the weight of the evidence is in favour of counter-cyclical training incidence. This paper suggests that a possible reconciliation of these findings is based on recognizing that firms may have incentives to train incumbents during a downturn and at the same time to reduce the recruitment and training of young employees, who are engaged in the transition from school to work.

“…Therefore, the cross-section data that entail the employee characteristics on only one day per year -the 30 th of June -underestimate the true ratio of apprentices. Even more importantly, the difference between the true average proportion of apprentices and the measured proportion of apprentices at this date differs between the groups of apprentices because of the different training durations (Jacobebbinghaus et al 2008).…”

Our paper shows that it is necessary to discriminate between different groups of occupations when assessing the costs and benefits of apprenticeship training. In particular, we find that the share of apprentices in trade, commercial, craft and construction occupations has a positive impact on contemporary gross profits and the apprentices are substitutes for unskilled or semi-skilled workers. In contrast, an increase in the share of apprentices in the manufacturing occupations reduces contemporary gross profits.This means that enterprises offering apprenticeships in manufacturing occupations do not cover their training costs during the apprenticeship period. The apprenticeship training rather is a human capital investment. This paper demonstrates the efficiency of the German apprenticeship system: it allows companies to provide general and occupation-specific skills in highly specified occupations such as manufacturing. Otherwise, it offers cost-neutral apprenticeships in occupations where skills are more general and the mobility is higher, such as commercial or trade occupations. ABSTRACT This paper investigates the short-term costs and benefits of apprenticeship training in Germany. It calls into question the popular stylised fact that apprenticeship training always leads to net costs during the apprenticeship period. We analyse the impact of the proportion of different occupational groups of apprentices on firm performance. We use representative matched employer-employee panel data that allow us to correct for different sources of estimation bias. We show that the proportion of apprentices in trade, commercial, craft and construction occupations has a direct positive impact on firm performance: the companies cover their training costs immediately. In contrast, companies with apprentices in the manufacturing occupations face net training costs during the apprenticeship period but gain by the long-term employment of its graduate apprentices.

Dieses Heft ist die erste Ausgabe des neuenAStA -Wirtschafts-und Sozialstatistisches Archiv.Diese Zeitschrift ist wie das AStA -Advances in Statistical Analysis eine Zeitschrift der Deutschen Statistischen Gesellschaft. Sie versteht sich in der Tradition des altehrwürdigen Allgemeinen Statistischen Archivs als zentrales deutschsprachiges Organ für die Publikation wirtschafts-und sozialstatistischer Arbeiten, während die in Englisch publizierten Advances auf die Veröffentlichung theoretischer und methodischer Arbeiten ausgerichtet sind. Zusammen mit den Advances führt das Wirtschafts-und Sozialstatistische Archiv die mehr als hundertjährige Tradition des alten AStA fort.Das AStA -Wirtschafts-und Sozialstatistisches Archiv steht vor allem offen für Arbeiten, die substantielle Fragestellungen der Wirtschafts-und Sozialwissenschaften mit einer Methodik behandeln, die Konzepte der klassischen Wirtschaftsstatistik mit modernen mathematisch geprägten statistischen Ansätzen verbindet. Publiziert werden methodisch fundierte, problem-orientierte Arbeiten. Im Vordergrund stehen Themen, die für eine breitere wissenschaftliche und auch außerwissenschaftlichë Offentlichkeit von Interesse sind.Für die Publikation einer Arbeit im AStA -Wirtschafts-und Sozialstatistisches Archiv sind Originalität, substanzwissenschaftlicher Erkenntnisgewinn sowie dië okonomische oder gesellschaftswissenschaftliche Relevanz ausschlaggebend. Auch wenn eine konkrete praktische Fragestellung schnell auf ein vergleichsweise hohes mathematisches Niveau führen kann, wird ein hoher Grad an mathematischer
