Scottish Journal of Political Economy, 1988, vol. 35, issue 1, 51-64

Abstract: Data from a national (U.K.) sample of job vacancies was used to explore the factors determining job vacancy duration. Banded durational dat a necessitated the use of regression techniques which allow for a qua litative dependent variable. The chosen approach was a polychotamous ordered probit model. The choice of recruitment methods by firms was found to be highly significant. Between recruitment methods the stand ard relativities emerged; informal methods fill vacancies fastest-new spaper advertisements are slowest. Copyright 1988 by Scottish Economic Society.
