本文调查了丹麦劳动力流动对工厂绩效的影响。我们的研究表明，只有在考虑流入工厂的技能类型以及这些技能与工厂一级现有技能的匹配程度时，才能评估劳动力流动的影响。正如预期的那样，我们发现与工厂技能相关的技能流入对工厂生产力增长产生积极影响，而与工厂技能相似的技能流入则产生负面影响。我们使用了一个复杂的显示相关性指标，该指标根据部门之间劳动力流动的强度来衡量部门之间的技能相关程度。技术劳动力的区域内流动对工厂绩效产生负面影响，但区域内和区域间流动的影响取决于流入工厂的技能类型。
This article investigates the impact of labour mobility on plant performance in Denmark. Our study shows that the effect of labour mobility can only be assessed when one accounts for the type of skills that flow into the plant and the degree to which these match the existing skills at the plant level. As expected, we found that the inflow of skills that are related to skills in the plant impacts positively on plant productivity growth, while inflows of skills that are similar to the plant skills have a negative effect. We used a sophisticated indicator of revealed relatedness that measures the degree of skill relatedness between sectors on the basis of the intensity of labour flows between sectors. Intra-regional mobility of skilled labour had a negative effect on plant performance, but the impacts of intra- and inter-regional mobility depended on the type of skills that flow into the plant.
