"We report the impacts of a job training program operated in the Dominican Republic. A random sample of applicants was selected to undergo training, and information was gathered 10-14 months after graduation. Unfortunately, people originally assigned to treatment who failed to show up were not included in the follow-up survey, potentially compromising the evaluation design. We present estimates of the program effect, including comparisons that ignore the potential nonrandomness of 'no-show' behavior, and estimates that model selectivity parametrically. We find little indication of a positive effect on employment outcomes but some evidence of a modest effect on earnings, conditional on working." Forschungsmethode: Evaluation; anwendungsorientiert; empirisch; Befragung. Die Untersuchung bezieht sich auf den Zeitraum 2004 bis 2005. (author's abstract, IAB-Doku).
