本文以中国为研究对象，研究了流动性约束冲击对农民工求职行为和结果的影响。负面的流动性约束冲击显著缩短了女性农民工的求职持续时间，增加了女性农民工的求职风险。负面的流动性约束冲击也降低了随后的工作匹配质量，包括更低的时薪、更长的工作时间、更高的在职搜索概率和更低的补贴质量。我们发现，男性农民工的求职过程和岗位匹配质量几乎没有受到影响。从政策的角度，我们证明了农村医疗保险，即新型合作医疗制度，实际上可以缓解流动性约束冲击对女性农民工的影响。
This paper studies the impact of a liquidity constraint shock on the job search behavior and outcomes among rural-to-urban migrant workers in China. A negative liquidity constraint shock significantly reduces job search duration and increases the job finding hazard rate for female migrant workers. A negative liquidity constraint shock also lowers the subsequent job match quality, including a lower hourly wage, longer working hours, a higher probability of on-the-job searches and lower quality in terms of subsidy. We find little effect on the job search process and post match quality for male migrant workers. From the policy perspective, we show evidence that rural medical insurance, namely, the New Cooperative Medical Scheme (NCMS), can actually ease the impact of a liquidity constraint shock for female migrant workers.
