X-ray photoemission measurements of the core levels and valence electronic structure of LaCoO{sub 3} and La{sub 0.5}Ca{sub 0.5}CoO{sub 3} high quality epitaxial films are presented. Shifts of the core levels and main valence band features are consistent with a doping-induced change in the chemical potential. Oxygen states are found to significantly contribute to a peak in the valence band at 1 eV binding energy, verifying earlier results of cluster calculations. A Fermi level crossing of this same band upon doping is observed, yielding a high Fermi level density of states. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}
