Mismatch unemployment in Austria

Abstract: During the last decade, the Beveridge curve in Austria shifted outwards. Using data on vacancies and registered unemployed, we test whether this shift was primarily caused by increased mismatch unemployment or by a labor supply shock. We find that the Beveridge curve shifted primarily because mismatch increased substantially. The increase is due to a substantial increase of mismatch unemployment for manual routine tasks.
