DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:<p>Does Dual Vocational Education and Training Pay Off?</p><p>Abstract:</p>
 <p style="text-align: justify;">This paper analyzes the causal impact of du
 al vocational education and training (VET) on the labor market insertion of
  youth. Using matched education and social security records, we estimate th
 e causal impact of a major reform that introduced a new dual track, which c
 ombines firm- and school-based training, on labor market outcomes of the fi
 rst three dual VET cohorts in the Spanish region of Madrid. The control gro
 up is composed of individuals who graduated in the same fields and years in
  school-based VET. Selection into dual VET is dealt with using a distance-b
 ased instrumental variable. Dual VET is found to generate sizeable improvem
 ents in employment and earnings, but no significant impact on job quality. 
 The results are not driven by pre-reform differences in the quality of the 
 schools that adopted dual VET and the higher retention rate of dual VET gra
 duates only partly explains the dual premium.</p>
