Abstract

This article explores the educational mismatch for 23 Turkish industries using all available household labour force surveys (LFSs) and annual industry and service statistics from 2004 to 2015. The main aim of this paper is first to evaluate the educational mismatch levels in the Turkish industries and then analyse its effects on the industrial total factor productivity (TFP), labour productivity, and wages. For the industrial TFP, the dynamic panel data estimations suggest that the mean value of over education years decreases the growth rate of TFP. Therefore, the widespread existence of educational mismatch implies an efficiency loss in Turkish manufacturing industries from the period 2004 to 2015. For industrial labour productivity, the modal value of education increases the labour productivity whereas there is no significant effect on industrial wages. This means that the Turkish manufacturing industries could benefit by employing more workers with the required level of schooling. This paper also controls for the birth cohort of workers to check the sensitivity of the results. These sensitivity checks consistently imply that the conclusions of this study are substantially robust to the utilisation of different specifications.

教育错配对土耳其制造业的影响

本文利用所有可用的家庭劳动力调查(lfs)和2004年至2015年的年度行业和服务统计数据，探讨了23个土耳其行业的教育不匹配。本文的主要目的是首先评估土耳其工业的教育错配水平，然后分析其对工业全要素生产率(TFP)，劳动生产率和工资的影响。对于工业TFP，动态面板数据估计表明，受教育年限的平均值降低了TFP的增长率。因此，教育错配的普遍存在意味着2004年至2015年期间土耳其制造业的效率损失。对于产业劳动生产率而言，教育模态价值提高了劳动生产率，而对产业工资没有显著影响。这意味着土耳其制造业可以通过雇佣更多受过必要教育的工人而受益。本文还控制了工人的出生队列，以检查结果的敏感性。这些敏感性检查一致地表明，本研究的结论对不同规格的使用基本上是稳健的。

期刊介绍： IJEED primarily publishes papers promoting advancement of education economics at all levels. It fills the gap in our understanding of the links between education and the development of individuals, societies and economies. IJEED is particularly interested in international comparisons and detailed studies of educational institutions and outcomes in developing economies. The latter is what distinguishes the journal from other journals whose focus is education economics more generally. Theoretical and empirical analyses at both micro and macro levels receive equal attention. Topics covered include: -Formal and informal education/training; role of voluntary organisations -Economic education and teaching of economics -Higher education: responsiveness to demands of society -Supply of education; education quality, measurement and issues -Teacher/instructor training and quality; dealing with bullying at schools -Access to education; education costs; public vs. private financing -Private school/higher education: private entrepreneurship''s role -Enrolment/drop-out rates, completion rates, and gender imbalance -Returns to education and labour market outcomes -Apprenticeships, training, skills upgrading; implementation, outcomes -Regional, rural/urban, and ethnic disparities in provision of education -Incentives, education delivery and outcomes -Education, health and happiness -International flows of human capital and brain drain -Any other relevant topic
