abstract: 'In this paper we analyse structural change and its implications for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
labor productivity growth in Kazakhstan, Malawi, and Zambia, three
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
resource-dependent countries, during the resource boom that lasted from
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2001 to 2013. We pay particular attention to the effects of labor
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
heterogeneity by assessing the demand for pre-determined occupations.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The effects of structural change on heterogeneous labor markets are
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
studied by developing a model to explain the observed patterns of labor
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
migration between sectors. We use labor force survey data from
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Kazakhstan and census microdata for Malawi and Zambia available from the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
IPUMS International database. In-depth examinations are performed using
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
a decomposition technique and multinomial logit regression to examine
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
labor demand patterns. Results show that private services experienced
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the largest increase in employment across all occupations and relative
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
skill deepening. Substantial decreases in managers occurred in public
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
services. The results indicate that structural change is fundamental in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
shaping the allocation of individuals across different occupations
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
within the labor market. Moreover, during a resource boom, the results
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
indicate that the public sector experiences a skill-drain that may
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
affect the quality of governance.'
