  1. Table reports marginal effects of a negative binomial regression for training-firms; all costs are in 10,000 Euros per person; %-change calculated as (incidence-rate ratio− 1) × 100; dependent variable: Number of apprentices; controls: Firm’s size (in #employees), Firm’s age (in years), Collective agreements (binary), Worker representation (binary), Training occupation, and Federal state; standard errors in parentheses; * statistically significant at the 0.10 level; ** at the 0.05 level; *** at the 0.01 level
