摘要本研究探讨将移动电话技术整合到传统的公共劳动力市场中介服务对就业结果的因果影响。通过短信提供更快、更便宜和最新的职位空缺信息，移动电话技术可能会影响工作机会的到达率和收到工作机会的可能性。我们实施了一项有多种治疗方法的社会实验，使我们能够调查信息渠道(数字与非数字)和信息集(受限[公共]与不受限[公共/私人])的作用。结果表明，公共劳动力市场中介对就业的短期影响是积极的和显著的。虽然传统劳动力市场中介的影响不足以在统计上显著，但无限制数字治疗组显示出统计上显著的短期就业效应。至于潜在的匹配效率收益，结果表明，无论是信息通道还是信息集，都没有统计上的显著影响。

AbstractThis study investigates the causal impacts of integrating mobile phone technologies into traditional public labor-market intermediation services on employment outcomes. By providing faster, cheaper and up-to-date information on job vacancies via SMS, mobile phone technologies might affect the rate at which offers arrive as well as the probability of receiving a job offer. We implement a social experiment with multiple treatments that allows us to investigate both the role of information channels (digital versus non-digital) and information sets (restricted [public] versus unrestricted [public/private]). The results show positive and significant short-term effects on employment for public labor-market intermediation. While the impacts from traditional labor-market intermediation are not large enough to be statistically significant, the unrestricted digital treatment group shows statistically significant short-term employment effects. As for potential matching efficiency gains, the results suggest no statistically significant effects associated with either information channels or information sets.
