An Ordered Response Model for Allocation and Earnings
估计了一个排序响应模型，研究个体如何分配到不同难度的岗位，并发现劳动力市场分配遵循比较优势，且受当地劳动力市场状况影响。
An ordered-response model for the allocation of individuals to jobs differing in degree of difficulty and complexity is estimated. Earnings differentials are estimated with an earnings fun ction exhibiting interaction between job level and individual charact eristics. The index of comparative advantage derived from it is added to the ordered-response model and clearly suggests that allocation i n the labor market follows comparative advantage. Allocation appears sensitive to the state of the local labor market. The model is also u sed to estimate the effect of elimination of less desirable variables (family background, gender, state of the labor market).
