Abstract

La literatura sobre la flexibilidad de los mercados laborales también se relaciona con el concepto de fluidez entendida en un sentido amplio como la movilidad de trabajadores y empleos en el mercado laboral. Calculamos las mediciones estándar de fluidez del mercado laboral urbano de Colombia y el aumento de la fluidez, especialmente después de 2010. Los modelos de desempleo de equilibrio predicen, en general, una relación negativa entre algunas de las mediciones de la fluidez y la tasa de desempleo de equilibrio. La literatura reciente sobre flujos de trabajadores y empleos señala aspectos benignos de la fluidez, dado que se espera que en los mercados laborales fluidos la duración del desempleo sea en promedio más corta. Encontramos evidencias de un efecto positivo de la fluidez sobre los diferentes índices de empleo y ocupación, utilizando modelos de regresión de variables instrumentales que explotan las variaciones de resultados laborales y la fluidez entre mercados laborales y en el tiempo.
