“…In contrast to the standard results encountered in the institutionalist comparative literature (Amable, 2003, Esping-Andersen, 1990), 4 the so-called liberal model disappears: the United Kingdom is included in the northern cluster, while Ireland joins the continental cluster. As it has already been mentioned in a previous paper (Davoine and Erhel, 2008), this counter-intuitive result reflects the existence of functional equivalences across different institutions and/or policies that are equally successful in improving job quality.…”

Abstract. Within the framework of the European Employment Strategy, the European Union has defined a set of indicators to monitor employment quality — the so‐called Laeken indicators. This article discusses and implements these indicators. From a theoretical perspective, it shows that the concept of work quality encompasses several dimensions, which are likely to be related to national institutions, particularly industrial relations and welfare systems. It then proceeds with a comparative analysis of quality in work across the 27 Member States, which confirms the existence of several models in Europe and suggests that the Laeken indicators should be supplemented by additional measures.

“…An accurate treatment of this behavior cannot be obtained through macroeconomic studies, while the authors want to check a real heterogeneity in the labor market. This is the case, for instance, in studies initiated by the European Union on the quality of employment, in the spirit of the Laeken indicators ( [19], [20]).…”

Analysis of professional trajectories using disconnected self-organizing maps

In this paper we address an important economic question. Is there, as mainstream economic theory asserts it, an homogeneous labor market with mechanisms which govern supply and demand for work, producing an equilibrium with its remarkable properties? Using the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) collected on the period 1984-2003, we study the situations of American workers with respect to employment. The data include all heads of household (men or women) as well as the partners who are on the labor market, working or not. They are extracted from the complete survey and we compute a few relevant features which characterize the worker's situations.To perform this analysis, we suggest using a Self-Organizing Map (SOM, Kohonen algorithm) with specific structure based on planar graphs, with disconnected components (called D-SOM), especially interesting for clustering. We compare the results to those obtained with a classical SOM grid and a star-shaped map (called SOS). Each component of D-SOM takes the form of a string and corresponds to an organized cluster.From this clustering, we study the trajectories of the individuals among the classes by using the transition probability matrices for each period and the corresponding stationary distributions.As a matter of fact, we find clear evidence of heterogeneous parts, each one with high homogeneity, representing situations well identified in terms of activity and wage levels and in degree of stability in the workplace. These results and their interpretation in economic terms contribute to the debate about flexibility which is commonly seen as a way to obtain a better level of equilibrium on the labor market.
