Abstract

El objetivo de esta investigación es analizar el funcionamiento del mercado de trabajo colombiano e identificar algunas fricciones que lo afectan a nivel agregado, departamental y de agentes, a través de la estimación de la función de emparejamiento, usando los datos mensuales del Servicio Público de Empleo (SPE) de febrero a noviembre de 2014. Este trabajo es la primera aproximación a la estimación de la función de matching del mercado laboral colombiano. De la comparación entre modelos estimados se concluye que: 1)las fricciones son mayores para las firmas que para los desempleados; 2)la función estimada por los métodos tradicionales está sesgada; 3)existe evidencia de retornos constantes a escala; 4)las interacciones se producen primero en las regiones y con menor relevancia por las características de los agentes; 5)el modelo stock-flow no se ajusta en varias estimaciones, y 6)el modelo más robusto es el lineal dinámico. ****** The objective of this research is to analyze the Colombian labor market and to identify some frictions that affect the aggregate, departmental and agent's levels, through the estimation of a matching function, using monthly data from the Public Employment Service (SPE), from February to November 2014. This research is the first approach to estimating the matching fucntion of the Colombian labor market. Comparison between models concludes that: (i)frictions are higher for firms than for the unemployed; (ii)there is a bias in the estimation of the matching function; (iii)there is evidence of constant returns to scale; (iv)interactions between supply and demand for labor occur first in the regions and are less relevant because of the characteristics of the agents; (v)the stock-flow model does not adjust to several estimates, and (vi)the more robust model corresponds to the dynamic linear model.
