摘要

本文提供了印度劳动力市场匹配摩擦的证据。我们使用多种方法来了解求职者对工作的真实偏好，结果表明(a) 求职者对相同工作的偏好存在很大差异；(b) 负责为求职者安排工作的安置官员对此知之甚少。即使考虑到求职者之间工作岗位的重新分配，向就业指导人员提供这些信息也能改善求职者的面试匹配情况。经过培训的求职者在短期内（3 个月）获得了更多心仪的工作，并留住了这些工作，但在长期内（6 个月）则不然。

How important are matching frictions in the labor market? Experimental & non-experimental evidence from a large Indian firm

This paper provides evidence of matching frictions in the Indian labor market. Using several methods to elicit genuine preferences of job-seekers over jobs, we show that: (a) there is substantial variation in job-seekers preferences over the same jobs; and (b) placement officers, responsible for placing job-seekers in jobs, have poor knowledge of it. Providing placement offers with this information improves matching of job-seekers to interviews, even after taking into account redistribution of jobs across job-seekers. Treated job-seekers get more preferred jobs and retain them in the short run (three months), but not in the longer run (six months).
