Abstract: This study examines the relationship between job training and wages among the 1997 cohort using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY) in the USA. For this purpose, a propensity score matching (PSM) is estimated. Then difference in difference model is applied to examine the potential impact on training on wages. The study uses STATA for analysis the model and reports STATA codes for application of the similar model for future researches. According to analysis results, training has raised real income by about $2,675 to $4,484. Using the difference between real income in 2005 and 2008, I found that the average treatment of difference in difference was $2,084 between workers who participated in training programs and workers who did not.

Key words: Difference in Difference, Logit, Propensity Score Matching, STATA, Training, Wages.
