Worker Flows and Job Flows in Danish Manufacturing, 1980‐91
利用1980-1991年丹麦所有制造企业的数据,分析工人流动与岗位流动的关系,发现工人和企业的异质性很大,且工人流动的周期性主要由经济上行期工人主动辞职寻找更好工作驱动。
We map turnover of workers and jobs in Danish manufacturing over the 1980 to 1991 period, using information about all individual manufacturing plants. We examine the relation between worker flows and job flows and we study separations from and hires to existing jobs ('replacement hiring') in detail. Our results reveal large heterogeneity among workers as well as plants, even adjusting for the level of job flows. The cyclical properties of worker reallocation point to worker flow dynamics being driven by workers quitting in upturns to find better jobs, rather than by plants upgrading the labour force in recessions
