Abstract

[eng] What is the marginal productivity of apprentices?. . In this article we evaluate the productivity of apprentices in France and Germany. The econometric analysis is based upon two matched employer-employee datasets. The French dataset comes from two surveys conducted by INSEE, and the German one uses surveys collected by the IAB (Institut für Arbeitsmarkt- und Berufsforschung). Concerning the productivity of apprentices, our econometric analysis seems to indicate that in both countries there is a structural difference between small and medium-size firms on the one hand, and large firms on the other. The difference is more pronounced in Germany where the motivation of small and medium-size firms hiring apprentices is to reduce labour costs, while hiring apprentices to invest in human capital seems to be the main motivation in large firms. [fre] Quelle est la productivité marginale des apprentis ?. . Cet article est consacré à l'évaluation de la productivité des apprentis en France et en Allemagne. L'analyse économétrique repose sur l'exploitation statistique originale de deux fichiers, le premier provenant d'un appartement de deux enquêtes réalisées par l'Insee, le second fichier étant extrait d'un panel allemand d'entreprises. Du point de vue de la productivité des apprentis, l'analyse économétrique fait apparaître une opposition entre PME et grandes entreprises. Ce contraste est toutefois plus prononcé en Allemagne, où l'argument de la réduction des coûts du travail semble prédominant dans les PME, les grandes entreprises recourant plus souvent à l'apprentissage pour investir en capital humain.
