Turnover and Excess Worker Reallocation. The Veneto Labour Market between 1982 and 1996

Giuseppe Tattara and Marco Valentini

LABOUR, 2010, vol. 24, issue 4, 474-500

Abstract: This research exploits a large matched employer–employee data set for an Italian region, the Veneto, that is presented here for the first time, in order to analyse job and worker flows. In a first part, the paper computes worker turnover, job turnover, and excess worker reallocation over a time span of 14 years. The results are discussed, and comparisons are made between the quantitative features of the labour market in the Veneto region and those of other labour markets. In a second part, turnover and excess worker reallocation are related to search costs, and new empirical evidence is presented that helps in understanding the connections between search activity, unemployment, and the economic cycle.
