Meanwhile, changing the remuneration structure within a team can change the stability of a team. In this paper, we apply the production games approach of cooperative game theory to analyze how training employees affects the stability of team structures and employee wages. Concretely, we apply coalition structures and the \u03c7 value. Our results are in line with the literature and numerous further research questions can be addressed based on our approach.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/g14030044","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,26]],"date-time":"2023-05-26T06:00:19Z","timestamp":1685080819000},"page":"44","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Training, Abilities and the Structure of Teams"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"http:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9798-8083","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tobias","family":"Hiller","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microeconomics, University of Leipzig, 04109 Leipzig, Germany"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"9","DOI":"10.1086\/258724","article-title":"Investment in Human Capital: A Theoretical Analysis","volume":"70","author":"Becker","year":"1962","journal-title":"J.
