Matching heterogeneous skills demand with heterogeneous skills supply

The present document using three different data sources proposes a theoretical and empirical model in which workers choose an occupation based on a given endowment of skills and employer requirements, and employers make a hiring decision taking in consideration several skills of heterogeneous agents. This proposal departs from the common framework because it considers the importance of the skill provision in the labor market, against the common view of an aggregated factor. The equilibrium of the model is calculated by microsimulation for the Colombian case.
