Abstract
This paper tests whether there is evidence that two distinct Beveridge curves for the skilled and unskilled aggregate markets exist. The results support the hypothesis and specifically find that the unskilled labour segment is less efficient at matching workers with jobs, primarily due to higher labour turnover rates. Higher turnover rates can be indicative of a poor match between employers’ and jobseekers’ expectations. The results also indicate that other shift variables, such as the replacement rate, the incidence of long‐term unemployment, the immigration rate and the market circumstances in the skilled segment were only important for the unskilled segment.
