In recent years, research about the influence of occupations on labor market processes and inequality has recovered rapidly in importance. Studies on occupational closure have revealed that occupations have different modes of regulations which impact the wage structure in the labor market. This literature, however, is limited to occupational closure processes; additionally, empirical indicators which operationalize the regulation of occupations more accurately are needed.Against this background, this project aims to investigate on the basis of new empirical indicators the effect of different levels of occupational regulation on closure as well as on general matching and mobility processes in the labor market. Specifically, we investigate the following research questions: First, does the regulation of occupations facilitate the matching process? And, secondly, do regulatory mechanisms restrict occupational mobility on the labor market, and if so, how and to what extent? Finally, what are the consequences of occupational regulation on individual labor market outcomes?For the empirical implementation we plan to use the IAB Job Vacancy Survey (EGS). The EGS is the only survey in Germany which provides representative and statistically valid data on matching processes. Secondly, we intend to use the Sample of Integrated Labor Market Biographies (SIAB). The SIAB is a two percent sample of all persons whose employment is subject to social security in Germany. Its large number of cases enables us to conduct meaningful analyses at the occupational level. Both data sets are especially suitable to answer the outlined research questions, but lack information on occupational regulation. Therefore, we supplement these data sets by indicators that measure the level of occupational regulation. We base our analyses on indicators describing the institutional features of occupations. To check their suitability with regard to our research questions we also want to integrate alternative measurements of occupational regulation.As a result, we expect to produce high-level publications contributing to the knowledge about occupational regulation on the one hand and labor market outcomes on the other. Secondly, we intend to provide insights into the operationalization of occupational regulations and its suitability for empirical labour market and inequality research. Third, the results will be valuable for labour market policy with regard to different modes of institutional arrangements of occupations.

近年来，关于职业对劳动力市场过程和不平等的影响的研究迅速恢复了重要性。对职业封闭的研究表明，职业有不同的监管模式，影响劳动力市场的工资结构。然而，这些文献仅限于职业关闭过程，此外，需要更准确地操作职业监管的实证指标，在此背景下，本项目旨在调查的基础上，新的实证指标的不同层次的职业监管关闭以及一般匹配和流动过程中的劳动力市场的效果。具体而言，我们调查以下研究问题：第一，是否职业的监管促进匹配过程？其次，监管机制是否限制了劳动力市场上的职业流动性，如果是，如何限制以及限制到何种程度？最后，职业管制对个人劳动力市场结果的影响是什么？对于实证实施，我们计划使用IAB职位空缺调查（EGS）。EGS是德国唯一一项提供有关匹配过程的具有代表性和统计有效数据的调查。其次，我们打算使用综合劳动力市场传记（SIAB）的样本。SIAB是在德国就业受社会保障约束的所有人中的2%的样本。它的大量案例使我们能够在职业层面进行有意义的分析。这两个数据集特别适合回答概述的研究问题，但缺乏有关职业监管的信息。因此，我们通过衡量职业监管水平的指标来补充这些数据集。我们的分析基于描述职业的制度特征的指标。此外，为了验证其与研究课题的适用性，我们还希望整合职业管制的其他测量方法。因此，我们希望制作高水平的出版物，一方面为职业管制知识做出贡献，另一方面为劳动力市场结果做出贡献。其次，我们打算提供洞察的职业法规的可操作性及其适用性的实证劳动力市场和不平等的研究。第三，研究结果将对不同职业体制安排模式的劳动力市场政策有价值。
