被称为知识提升（Knowledge Lift）的瑞典成人教育计划（1997-2002）在规模和范围上都是前所未有的，旨在提高大量低技能工人的技能水平。本文评估了该计划对劳动力市场总体结果的潜在影响。这是通过使用预计划数据校准具有异构工人技能的均衡搜索模型，然后预测计划影响来完成的。我们将预测与计划终止后观察到的劳动力市场总体结果进行比较。 (C) 2008 Elsevier Inc. 保留所有权利。
The Swedish adult education program known as the Knowledge Lift (1997-2002) was unprecedented in its size and scope, aiming to raise the skill level of large numbers of low-skill workers. This paper evaluates the potential effects of this program on aggregate labor market outcomes. This is done by calibrating an equilibrium search model with heterogeneous worker skills using pre-program data and then forecasting the program impacts. We compare the forecasts to observed aggregate labor market outcomes after termination of the program. (C) 2008 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
