A modified switching regression model for earnings differentials between the public and private sectors in the Netherlands
Article Abstract:
A switching regression model is used to study differences in earnings between employees in the private and public sector in the Netherlands. Private-sector workers are found to earn significantly more than some public-sector workers. Less parameter identification limitations are placed on the model than would be found using the standard switching regression model. The estimation results are more efficient due to the use of better wage variable data in the choice equation.

It is shown that training exhibits significant effects on future earnings. However, variations are exhibited after controlling for endogeneity, considering gender differences and the type of training employed.
