COMPOSITION OF THE JOB-SEEKER STOCK IN LABOUR MARKET MATCHING: A STOCHASTIC FRONTIER APPROACH
Resumen
Este trabajo investiga la eficiencia técnica del mercado de trabajo coincidente con un enfoque de frontera estocástica. El conjunto de datos consiste en datos mensuales de 145 Oficinas de trabajo locales (Llos) en Finlandia durante el periodo 1995/01-2004/09. El verdadero modelo de efectos fijos es utilizada para cruzar por separado la heterogeneidad de la sección de la ineficiencia. Según los resultados, hay diferencias notables en la adecuación de eficiencia entre las regiones, y estas diferencias contribuyen de manera significativa el número de vacantes cubiertas. Si todas las regiones eran tan eficaces como el más eficiente, el número de partidos totales por mes se incrementaría en más del 10%. Si la ineficacia no tenía ningún papel en la función de concordancia, el número de partidos, aumentaría en casi un 24%. El peso de la composición de la población solicitante de empleo y otras variables ambientales en la determinación de hacer coincidir la ineficiencia es en promedio del 61%. En particular, los solicitantes de empleo de la fuerza de trabajo altamente educada y de los solicitantes de empleo de mejorar la eficiencia técnica en la función correspondiente.
