Abstract
A large sample of Israelis is used to estimate models for the demand f
or government-sponsored training by the unemployed. The paper focuses
on three decision variables: (i) whether to train or not; (ii) the tim
ing of training; and (iii) the duration of training. The covariates of
these decisions turn out to vary. However, on the whole the results a
re consistent with human capital theory.
