本文分析了当地劳动力供给的技能结构的变化如何被经济所吸收，并区分了三种调整机制：工资、更密集地使用更丰富的技能群体的生产单位的规模扩张以及生产单位内部更密集地使用更丰富的技能群体。我们通过使用德国行政数据分析公司而不是行业层面的这些调整来为文献做出贡献。我们表明，大多数调整是通过相对要素强度的变化发生在企业内部的，企业进入和退出市场是一种重要的额外吸收机制。
This paper analyzes how changes in the skill mix of local labor supply are absorbed by the economy, distinguishing between three adjustment mechanisms: wages, expansion in size of those production units using the more abundant skill group more intensively, and more intensive use of the more abundant skill group within production units. We contribute to the literature by analyzing these adjustments on the firm rather than industry level, using German administrative data. We show that most adjustments occur within firms through changes in relative factor intensities and that firms entering and exiting the market are an important additional absorption mechanism.
