Összefoglaló
In this paper I develop a matching model with endogenous skill requirements of jobs and heterogeneous workers. I study the impact of skill-mismatches between workers and jobs on the cyclical behavior of labor productivity and the cyclical behavior of unemployment rates across skill groups. I focus on the skill-mismatch that takes the form of high-skill workers accepting transitorily jobs below their skill level, thereby influencing the labor market prospects of lower skill groups, and continue searching while employed for more suitable jobs. The model explains why the burden of unemployment falls disproportionably on the lower skill groups and why the quality of worker-job matches is lower in recessions.
