Abstract

In this paper a statistical model combining duration of search for an apprentice vacancy and choice of entering a training programme aiming at helping students finding an vacancy is presented. Using conventional duration models yields a negative effect on durations of search from the programme. Allowing for correlated unobserved heterogeneity in a joint statistical model for choice of of training and duration of search renders this effect insignificant. However, a somewhat more complicated model yields a less clear picture.
