摘要

本文利用2016年英国政府小型企业调查中2969家中小企业的横截面数据，研究了中小企业对英国脱欧和技能短缺的看法。采用聚类标准误差的逻辑回归分析了将英国脱欧视为主要业务障碍的中小企业与中小企业确定其业务中技能短缺的可能性之间的关联。结果显示，缺乏管理技能/专业知识的公司报告英国脱欧将影响其业务的可能性高出6.5%，其次是员工招聘困难(4.5%)和外部劳动力市场技能短缺(3.8%)。提供政策建议。

Brexit and skill shortages: an empirical analysis of UK SMEs

This paper examines the perspectives of SMEs on Brexit and skill shortages using cross-sectional data of 2,969 SMEs from a UK Government’s Small Business survey for 2016. The logistic regression with clustered standard errors is applied to analyse the association between SMEs considering Brexit as a major business obstacle and the probability of SMEs identifying skill shortages in their businesses. The results show that firms with a shortage of managerial skills/expertise have a 6.5% higher probability to report that Brexit will affect their businesses, followed by difficulties in staff recruitment (4.5%) and shortage of skills within external labour markets (3.8%). Policy recommendations are provided.
