摘要

摘要:我们探讨企业集团如何利用内部劳动力市场(ILMs)来应对不断变化的经济状况。我们表明,随着大型行业竞争对手的退出,集团附属公司扩大,并通过增加对工业机械工业的依赖来获得市场份额,以确保迅速招聘,特别是技术经理和熟练的蓝领工人。在更接近附属公司人力资本的公司中,利用这种增长机会冲击的能力更强,因为地理位置接近有利于员工跨部门调动。总体而言,我们的研究结果表明,在变革时期,ILM是一个突出的机制,使与商业团体的联系变得有价值。面对行业冲击,ILM要发挥其作用,集团部门多元化必须与子公司之间的地理邻近性相结合。

Exploiting Growth Opportunities: The Role of Internal Labor Markets
Abstract We explore how business groups use internal labour markets (ILMs) in response to changing economic conditions. We show that following the exit of a large industry competitor, group-affiliated firms expand, and gain market share by increasing their reliance on the ILM to ensure swift hiring, especially of technical managers and skilled blue collar workers. The ability to take advantage of this shock to growth opportunities is greater in firms with closer access to their affiliates’ human capital, as geographical proximity facilitates employee relocations across units. Overall, our findings point to the ILM as a prominent mechanism making affiliation with a business group valuable at times of change. For the ILM to perform its role in the face of industry shocks, group sectoral diversification must be combined with geographical proximity between affiliates.

期刊介绍: Founded in 1933 by a group of young British and American economists, The Review of Economic Studies aims to encourage research in theoretical and applied economics, especially by young economists. Today it is widely recognised as one of the core top-five economics journals. The Review is essential reading for economists and has a reputation for publishing path-breaking papers in theoretical and applied economics. The Review is committed to continuing to publish strong papers in all areas of economics. The Editors aim to provide an efficient and high-quality review process to the Review''s authors. Where articles are sent out for full review, authors receive careful reports and feedback. Since 1989 The Review has held annual May Meetings to offer young students in economics and finance the chance to present their research to audiences in Europe.
