Skill certifications and migrant labor market integration
This paper studies whether government-issued skill certification improves labor market integration when workers’ skills are hard to verify.

The program certifies existing skills rather than providing training. Among locals, the offer increases employment by reducing i…
Signaling Specific Skills and the Labor Market of College Graduates
Using administrative data and a regression discontinuity design, we study the labor market effects of a government-sponsored award given to top-performing students on Colombia’s national college exit exam.

The benefits are concentrated among graduates from lowerreputation institutions, who enter the market with w…
