  • This paper analyzes the spillover effects of corporate training between listed
    companies after financial crisis. Spillover effects in this study are defined as
    the effects of one company’s knowledge formation activity to the other’s
    knowledge formation activity. Characteristic of knowledge or skill as stock was
    applied to analysis by estimating Education and Training stock. The
    technological nearness between companies was applied to analysis by
    estimating the proximities of the companies in technology space from patent
    data, too. Empirical results identified spillover effects. This means skill or
    knowledge is formed cumulatively between companies and has positive
    externality. And the short-term oriented company management and expanding
    external labor market after the financial crisis caused less investment on
    corporate training. These causes had more influence on large enterprises
    which play an important role of knowledge formation over the entire economy
    through the spillover effects.
