“…As the STEP employer survey does not include information about hours of training, while data about the average number of days per year for trained workers of a given type were collected only for formal in‐house training, we measure the intensity of training in terms of the share of workers trained, similar to Gashi and Adnett (). If the establishment reported different shares of workers trained through different methods, we used the share corresponding to the maximum reported value to define the intensity of training of a given type.…”

“…Such firms are referred to as market losers or non‐competitive in the labour market (Gimpelson et al ., ). other determinants : ownership, international business contacts and location. Some studies in developing and transition countries (among others, Gashi and Adnett, ; Popov, ; Almeida and Aterido, ) test the effect of ownership, especially with foreign capital, on the incidence of training as it is expected that foreign companies bring new technologies, procedures and approaches that might increase their provision of training to workers. Likewise, we expect that firms having international business contacts are more likely to provide training to their workers.…”

“… Popov () examined the effect of credit constraints on the incidence of formal training in a sample of transition countries based on the BEEPS survey in 2005. Using the BEEPS surveys in 2002 and 2005, Gashi and Adnett () explored the link between technological innovation of firms and the incidence and intensity of employer‐provided training in five Western Balkan countries. Almeida and Aterido (, ) analyzed the causal effect between employment protection regulations or size groups and the incidence of training in a pooled sample of Eastern and Central European economies and developing countries, based on the World Bank Enterprise surveys conducted in 99 countries between 2002 and 2007. …”

This paper analyzes the extent of employer‐provided training in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Ukraine and investigates its relationship with innovation, having international business contacts, use of computers at work, reported skills shortages and other firm characteristics. It contributes to the literature by examining different types of training – initial on‐the‐job learning, more formal in‐house training and external training, which is provided by firms to two categories of workers – white‐ and blue‐collar workers. After controlling for a range of firm characteristics, we find a positive link between technological innovation and intensity of training of all types provided to white‐collar workers that points to the technology‐skills complementarity. Furthermore, the level of computer use at work is a significant determinant of the incidence and intensity of external training provided to white‐collar and blue‐collar workers.

“…between what companies require and what educational and training institutions offer in the labor market, has negative implications in terms of wasting public and private investments in human capital., which in turn negatively affects the labor market development. Also, the difference between wages was small, which had a negative impact on workers' motivation and productivity (Commander and Kollo, 2004;Gashi and Adnett, 2012;Tan et al, 2007).…”

<p class="ber"><span lang="EN-US">Foreign direct investment (FDI) is considered a major factor in the process of a country's economic development. The presence of FDI in host countries has multiple effects on their economic development. One of these effects pertains to the change in organization and composition of labor market. With that in mind, this paper studies the effect of FDI inflow from Austria on the labor market in Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H). It analyzes the time series data for the period 2005 - 2014. The research of the paper is divided into two parts. The first part studies the effect of certain independent variables on the increase in real average wages of skilled and unskilled labor. The second part examines the effect of certain independent variables on the increase in the number of skilled and unskilled workers. This paper applies the North-South Model and OLS Regression. The research has shown that the impact of the majority of independent variables on dependent variables is statistically significant.</span></p>

If the standards of living in the Western Balkans are to converge on those in the EU then the current productivity gap needs eliminating. A significant portion of that gap would ideally be eliminated through the expansion of employer-provided training. However, survey data indicate that since 2016 training incidence has been rising in only two of the six countries of the Western Balkans. The main contribution of this paper is to investigate this disappointing performance. A model of the determinants of the incidence of employer-provided training is developed based on theory and investigations in other countries. It is found that in the Western Balkans firms with foreign owners, those who export and those who report that their employees are eager to access training are more likely to provide training, whilst micro and small firms are less likely to provide training. Sentiments regarding the firm’s and economy’s current performance and their prospects are also significant determinants. The policy implications of these findings are addressed in the concluding section.
