Conceptually, the TSL model represents occupational outcomes as resulting from mutually constraining preferences and resources of workers and firms. Applying the TSL model gives estimates of the importance of worker and job …

Rules of Access and Shifts in Demand: A Comparison of Log-Linear and Two-Sided Logit Models

To address these questions, we report parallel analyses of the role of gender in the process of occupational …
