Kaplan, David S.González, Gabriel MartínezRobertson, Raymond2012-06-082012-06-082007-12https://hdl.handle.net/10986/7599Using a census of all workers in private establishments in the formal sector in Mexico to track workers and establishments over time, this paper presents the first Mexican worker and job flow statistics. The data allow for comparing these flows across time, space, and worker characteristics. Although many patterns are similar to those documented in developing countries, the analysis uncovers patterns that have potentially important policy implications. The authors compare the results to the literature, illustrate how the statistics change during times of reform and crisis, and present novel findings that contribute to the broader literature on worker reallocations.CC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO CREDITADJUSTMENT COSTSAGE CATEGORIESAGE CATEGORYAGE GROUPSBUSINESS CYCLEBUSINESS CYCLESCAPABILITYCONSUMER PRICE INDEXCREDIT MARKETCREDIT MARKETSCREDIT PROBLEMSDEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICSDEVELOPMENT BANKDEVELOPMENT ECONOMICSDISLOCATED WORKERSDISPLACEMENTE-MAILECONOMIC ACTIVITYECONOMIC CRISISECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC REFORMECONOMIC SLOWDOWNECONOMIC VOLATILITYEMPLOYEEEMPLOYMENTEMPLOYMENT DYNAMICSEMPLOYMENT GROWTHEMPLOYMENT HISTORIESEXCHANGE RATEEXPANSIONEXPANSIONSEXPORT MARKETFEMALE EMPLOYMENTFINANCIAL SUPPORTFIRM SIZEFIRMSFOREIGN INVESTMENTFOREIGN MARKETSFREE TRADEGENDERGENDER DIFFERENCESINFORMAL EMPLOYMENTINFORMAL SECTORINNOVATIONINTERNATIONAL BANKINTERNATIONAL TRADEJOB CREATIONJOB DESTRUCTIONJOB FLOWJOB FLOWSJOB TURNOVERJOBSLABOR ADJUSTMENTLABOR ADJUSTMENT COSTSLABOR ECONOMICSLABOR FORCELABOR FORCE PARTICIPATIONLABOR MARKETLABOR MARKETSLABOR STATISTICSLABOR TURNOVERLABOURLABOUR MARKETLABOUR OFFICELACK OF CREDITLATIN AMERICANMANUFACTURING ESTABLISHMENTSMARKET FAILURESMONETARY POLICYNET EMPLOYMENTOLDER WORKERSOPEN UNEMPLOYMENTPREVIOUS SECTIONPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE SECTOR DEVELOPMENTPRODUCTIVITYRAW DATARECESSIONRECESSIONSRESULTRESULTSRETIREMENTRETRAINING PROGRAMSEARCHSMALL FIRMSSMALL MANUFACTURINGSOCIAL SECURITYSTABLE JOBSTAXONOMYTIME PERIODTOTAL EMPLOYMENTTOTAL WORKERTRAINING PROGRAMTRAINING PROGRAMSUNEMPLOYEDUNEMPLOYMENTUNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCEUNEMPLOYMENT RATEUSESWAGE GAPWAGE INCREASESWAGE RIGIDITIESWAGESWEBWEB SITEWORKERWORKERSYOUNGER WORKERSWorld Bank10.1596/1813-9450-4433
