    This paper evaluates the impact on employment probabilities of two training programs funded by the European Social Fund in the province of Bolzano, Italy. The programs were addressed to particularly vulnerable groups which were much less skilled and educated than the control group from the public employment agency registers. A large share of the benefit recipients are indeed recent migrants, refugees, and women. By using different matching algorithms, this group was made as similar as possible to the control group, at least in terms of observed characteristics, including the employment status up to two years before entering the programme. We find that the short-term impact of the training programs is negative, highlighting the presence of a lock-in effect. However, from the start of the programs, up to the 13th month, this effect reduced to nihil. The effect is particularly sizeable and statistically significant for women, migrants, and the highly educated; age does not seem to matter. However, our findings suggest that the programs were especially significant in empowering women and migrants. By providing them with basic skills, including linguistic and technical professional skills, increased their integration by making them seek jobs more actively.

  3. Drivers of skill mismatch among Italian graduates

    It is now well accepted that human capital is a heterogeneous aggregate and that non-cognitive skills are at least as relevant as cognitive abilities. In spite of this growing interest in the labour market consequences of personality traits, the relationship between these and educational and skill mismatch is scant. In this paper, we investigate the impact of the five main personality traits (Big 5) on educational and skill mismatch in Italian graduates. To this aim, we use the 2018 wave of the INAPP-PLUS survey, which contains information on skill mismatch, on the Big 5 personality traits, and on a large number of other individual and job-specific characteristics. The empirical analysis takes into account both demand and supply variables mediating the effect of personality on skill mismatch and controls for non-random selection into employment and tertiary education. We find that some personality traits reduce the probability of overeducation, suggesting complementarity between cognitive and non-cognitive skills. In addition, we find a positive effect of conscientiousness on both overeducation and overqualification. The evidence regarding job satisfaction suggests that individuals with high scores for conscientiousness voluntarily decide to be mismatched when this entails higher satisfaction in other dimensions of the job.

    This paper develops a large-scale application to improve the labour market matching process with model- and algorithm-based statistical methods. We use comprehensive administrative data on employment biographies covering individual and job-related information of workers in Germany. We estimate the probability that a job seeker gets employed in a certain occupational field. For this purpose, we make predictions with common statistical methods (OLS, Logit) and machine learning (ML) methods. The findings suggest that ML performs best regarding the out-of-sample classification error. In terms of the unemployment rate hypothetically, the advantage of ML compared to the common statistical methods would stand for a diference of 0.3 - 1.0 percentage points. Dieses Papier beschäfigt sich mit einer großangelegten Datenanalyse mit dem Ziel den Matchingprozess auf dem Arbeitsmarkt mit algorithmen- und modellbasierten statistischen Methoden zu verbessern. Wir nutzen einen umfassenden administrativen Datensatz zu Arbeitsmarktbiographien von erwerbstätigen Personen in Deutschland. Der Datensatz beinhaltet sowohl personenbezogene als auch berufsbezogene Informationen. Auf Basis unserer Schätzungen berechnen wir, in welchem Berufsfeld eine arbeitslose Person mit der gröSStenWahrscheinlichkeit Beschäfigung findet. Wir nutzen für unsere Prognosen konventionelle statistische Methoden (OLS, Logit) und maschinelles Lernen. Anhand unserer Ergebnisse zeigt sich, dass für die zugrundeliegende Fragestellung Algorithmen des maschinellen Lernens die besten Ergebnisse liefern. Als GütemaSS hierfür nutzen wir den out-of-sample Prognosefehler. Hinsichtlich der Arbeitslosenquote würde der Vorteil der Methoden des maschinellen Lernens hypothetisch für einen Unterschied von 0,3 - 1,0 Prozentpunkten im Vergleich zu den konventionellen statistischen Methoden stehen.

    We use population data on capital income and wealth holdings for Norway to measure asset positions and wealth returns before individuals marry and after the household is formed. These data allow us to establish a number of novel facts. First, individuals sort on personal wealth rather than parents' wealth. Assortative mating on own wealth dominates, and in fact renders assortative mating on parental wealth statistically insignificant. Second, people match also on their personal returns to wealth and assortative mating on returns is as strong as that on wealth. Third, post-marriage returns on family wealth are largely explained by the return of the spouse with the highest pre-marriage return. This suggests that family wealth is largely managed by the spouse with the highest potential to grow it. This is particularly true for households at the top of the wealth distribution at marriage. We use a simple analytical example to illustrate how assortative mating on wealth and returns and wealth management task allocation between spouses affect wealth inequality

    Democratic representation is constrained by the alternatives available to voters. In this paper, we develop a methodology to gauge the extent to which the "supply side" of politics hinders voter welfare. Using rich data on thousands of candidates in three Brazilian legislative elections, we quantify the relative value voters place on candidates' policy positions and non-ideological attributes, and we evaluate voters' welfare given the set of candidates they face. Our estimates uncover substantial welfare losses to voters relative to three alternative benchmarks of ideal representation. On average, the typical voter suffers only a moderate loss due to policy incongruence but a large loss due to shortages in candidates' non-ideological characteristics. To evaluate the welfare consequences of potential institutional reforms, we develop and estimate a model of equilibrium policy determination. Through counterfactual experiments, we show that institutional reforms aimed at improving the quality of representation may have sizable unintended consequences due to equilibrium policy adjustments

    When workers are displaced from their jobs in mass layoffs or firm closures, they experience lasting adverse labor market consequences. We study how these consequences vary with the amount of skill mismatch that workers experience when returning to the labor market. Using novel measures of skill redundancy and skill shortage, we analyze individuals' work histories in Germany between 1975 and 2010. We estimate difference-in-differences models, using a sample in which we match displaced workers to statistically similar non-displaced workers. We find that displacements increase the probability of occupational change eleven fold, and that the type of skill mismatch after displacement is strongly associated with the magnitude of post-displacement earnings losses. Whereas skill shortages are associated with relatively quick returns to the counterfactual earnings trajectories that displaced workers would have experienced absent displacement, skill redundancy sets displaced workers on paths with permanently lower earnings.

    We study an experiment of the students-proposing deferred acceptance mechanism (DA) in matching markets where firms are matched with students. We investigated the two different situations: (i) Students know firms' preferences and firms submit their true preference, (ii) Students know firms' preferences and firms submit a higher ranking to students who give them higher ranking. This experiment confirms that the matching results under DA in uence students' preference formation, which decreases the degree of stability. If firms do not submit their true preferences, students also do not submit their true preferences. As a result, the situation induces instability. Moreover, we find the new pattern of submitted preferences - compromise strategy. If there is an extreme option, students will tend to prefer the in-between option.

    School districts in the US and around the world are increasingly moving away from traditional neighborhood school assignment, in which pupils attend closest schools to their homes. Instead, they allow families to choose from schools within district boundaries. This creates a market with parental demand over publicly-supplied school seats. More frequently than ever, this market for school seats is cleared via market design solutions grounded in recent advances in matching and mechanism design theory. The literature on school choice is reviewed with emphasis placed on the trade-offs among policy objectives and best practices in the design of admissions processes. It is concluded with a brief discussion about how data generated by assignment algorithms can be used to answer contemporary empirical questions about school effectiveness and policy interventions

    Labor market outcomes for young college graduates have deteriorated substantially in the last twenty five years, and more of them are residing with their parents. The unemployment rate at 23-27 year old for the 1996 college graduation cohort was 9%, whereas it rose to 12% for the 2013 graduation cohort. While only 25% of the 1996 cohort lived with their parents, 31% for the 2013 cohort chose this option. Our hypothesis is that the declining availability of 'matched jobs' that require a college degree is a key factor behind these developments. Using a structurally estimated model of child-parent decisions, in which coresidence improves college graduates' quality of job matches, we find that lower matched job arrival rates explain two thirds of the rise in unemployment and coresidence between the 2013 and 1996 graduation cohorts. Rising wage dispersion is also important for the increase in unemployment, while declining parental income, rising student loan balances and higher rental costs only play a marginal role

    Since the beginning of the covid-19 pandemic, matching in the Danish labour market seems to have been dampened: Fewer workers are being hired than the number of unemployed job seekers and open vacancies would lead to believe. Furthermore, employers report a stark increase in failed recruiting efforts since mid-2021. In this memo, I discuss one potential explanation: mismatch in the labour market between vacancies and job seekers. I build two indicators of mismatch in the Danish labour market that can be used to study such developments since 2008. Both measures indicate that mismatch increased a lot during the 2008 Great Recession. In subsequent years, mismatch recovered only partly. The increase in mismatch during the pandemic was noticeable, but much less than during the Great Recession. There is no clear evidence that mismatch significantly dampened the Danish recovery in late 2021, or contributed to the employers' reported hiring difficulties in that period.

    The assignment of workers to tasks and teams is a key margin of firm productivity and a potential source of state effectiveness. This paper investigates whether a low-capacity state can increase its tax revenue by optimally assigning its tax collectors. We study the two-stage random assignment of property tax collectors into teams and to neighborhoods in a large Congolese city. The optimal assignment involves positive assortative matching on both dimensions: high (low) ability collectors should be paired together, and high (low) ability teams should be paired with high (low) payment propensity households. Positive assortative matching stems from complementarities in collector-to-collector and collector-to-household match types. We provide evidence that these complementarities reflect in part high-ability collectors exerting greater effort when matched with other high-ability collectors. According to our estimates, implementing the optimal assignment would increase tax compliance by 2.94 percentage points and revenue by 26% relative to the status quo (random) assignment. Alternative policies, such as replacing low-ability collectors with new ones of average ability or increasing collectors' performance wages, are likely incapable of achieving a similar revenue increase

    We study how individual political views shape firm behavior and labor market outcomes. Using new micro-data on the political affiliation of business owners and private-sector workers in Brazil over the 2002-2019 period, we first document the presence of political assortative matching: business owners are significantly more likely to employ copartisan workers. Political assortative matching is larger in magnitude than assortative matching along gender and racial lines. We then provide three sets of results consistent with the presence of employers' political discrimination. First, several patterns in the micro-data and an event study are consistent with a discrimination channel. Second, we conduct an incentivized resume rating field experiment showing that owners have a direct preference for copartisan workers opposed to workers from a different party. Third, we conduct representative large- scale surveys of owners and workers revealing that labor market participants view employers' discrimination as the leading explanation behind our findings. We conclude by presenting evidence suggesting that political discrimination in the workplace has additional real consequences: copartisan workers are paid more and are promoted faster within the firm, despite being less qualified; firms displaying stronger degrees of political assortative matching grow less than comparable firms

    We investigate the welfare effect of increasing competition in an anonymous two-sided matching market, where matched pairs play an infinitely repeated Prisoner's Dilemma. Higher matching efficiency is usually considered detrimental as it creates stronger incentives for defection. We point out, however, that a reduction in matching frictions also increases welfare because more agents find themselves in a cooperative relationship. We characterize the conditions for which increasing competition increases overall welfare. In particular, this is always the case when the incentives for defection are high.

    Die empirische Arbeitsmarktforschung ist derzeit nur eingeschränkt in der Lage, die Qualität der Ausgleichprozesse am Arbeitsmarkt anhand der Merkmale der neu zustande gekommenen Beschäftigungsverhältnisse zu beschreiben. Die Analyse von Stellenanzeigen kann zwar detaillierte Einblicke über konkrete Stellenanforderungen geben, ob diese aber auch von den späteren Stelleninhabern erfüllt werden, bleibt bei einer derartigen Analyse ungeklärt. Auswertungen der IAB-Stellenerhebung stehen unter dem Vorbehalt, dass sie nur die letzte neu besetzte Vakanz in den Blick nehmen können. Die vorliegende Studie auf Basis eines speziell für diese Zwecke bereitgestellten Datensatzes durch den Personaldienstleister Hays, der detaillierte Informationen sowohl über Stellenanforderungen als auch die Kompetenzprofile der Beschäftigten in neu zustande gekommenen Arbeitsverhältnissen enthält, zeigt die Potenziale von Analysen auf, die die Qualität einer großen Anzahl von Matching-Prozessen beschreiben wollen. Due to data restrictions, existing empirical research currently fails to exactly determine the quality of newly established employee-employer-matches. While data on job requirements for specific positions are frequently available, large-scale information on the skill endowment of the recently hired corresponding persons is scarce, except for the IAB-Job-Vacancy-Survey. Unfortunately, the latter only provides data on the most recently settled contract of each of the responding establishments. By exploiting a unique dataset of 50,000 new matches that informs about both the skill requirements of a filled position and the skill endowment of the corresponding entrant we can construct an indicator of the average match-quality.
