Abstract

In coffee-shop discussions of unemployment, skills mismatch is a usual suspect. Indeed authors like Krugman (1994) assert that European unemployment is rising because the demand for skills increases faster than the supply, and wages are not allowed to adjust.1 Surprisingly, no one has so far checked the component parts of this assertion, nor analyzed them within a simple model which has a sensible definition of a neutral shift in demand and supply.
