The paper 'Wage Cyclicality and Labor Market Sorting' by research fellow Ana Figueiredo (Erasmus University Rotterdam) has been published in the American Economic Review: Insights.
The abstract reads: This paper uses a measure of skill mismatch to separate wage flexibility from confounding variation in wages driven by differences in job quality over the business cycle. I first show that the high cyclicality of job switchers' wages goes beyond cyclical movements in skill mismatch. Then I uncover large differences in wage cyclicality across the skill mismatch distribution. Among incumbent workers, wages are acyclical in good matches but procyclical in poor matches, in particular for overqualified workers.
