Occupational Matching: A Test of Sorts
提出工作匹配理论，区分工作特定和职业特定的匹配信息，并用美国青年纵向调查数据检验：换岗不换行时，前任工作任期越长，当前工作离职概率越低，数据支持职业匹配假说。
This paper develops a theory of job matching in which matching information has both job-specific and occupation-specific components. If occupational matching is significant, then the theory predicts that, for those who have switched jobs but remained in the same occupation, increased tenure in the previous job lowers the likelihood of separation from the current job. These predictions are tested using job tenure data from the National Longitudinal Survey's youth cohort. In general, the data are consistent with the occupational matching hypothesis.
