| description | This study analyzes the skills deficit in formal sector companies using information on 799 firms obtained from the Structural Business Survey (ENESEM 2018). The skills studied through a Probit model are Reading and Writing, Arithmetic and Problem Solving. The results indicate a correlation between the incidence of gaps and the asymmetry of information on the worker’s skill endowment, and the company’s ability to appropriate the return of on-the-job training, as well as the presence of sectoral heterogeneity in skill deficits. The mismatch between supply and demand for skills is greater in the Manufacturing sector. The findings suggest that improving the quality of information on workers’ skills, and mechanisms that allow companies and individuals to share the costs and returns of on-the-job training, would improve the productivity of the economy. |

Las habilidades estudiadas a través de un modelo probit son lectura, escritura, aritmética y resolución de problemas. Los resultados indican correlación entre la incidencia de brechas y la asimetría de información sobre la dotación de habilidades del trabajador, y la capacidad de la empresa de apropiarse del retorno del entrenamiento en el trabajo, así como presencia de heterogeneidad sectorial en los déficits de habilidad. El desajuste entre oferta y demanda de habilidades es mayor en el sector de manufactura. Los hallazgos sugieren que mejorar la calidad de la información sobre la dotación de habilidades de los trabajadores, y mecanismos que permitan a las empresas y a los individuos compartir los costos y los retornos del entrenamiento en el trabajo permitirían mejorar la productividad de la economía.Banco Central del Ecuador2023-12-15info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtículos de Investigaciónapplication/pdfhttps://estudioseconomicos.bce.fin.ec/index.php/RevistaCE/article/view/43310.47550/RCE/33.2.1Cuestiones Económicas; Vol. 33 Núm. 2 (2023): Revista Cuestiones Económicas; Autores: Priscila Hermida y Nikola Petrovic2697-33672697-3367reponame:Revista Cuestiones Económicasinstname:Banco Central del Ecuadorinstacron:BCEspahttps://estudioseconomicos.bce.fin.ec/index.php/RevistaCE/article/view/433/344Derechos de autor 2023 Cuestiones Económicashttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2025-09-03T17:28:37Zoai:estudioseconomicos.bce.fin.ec:article/433Portal de revistashttps://estudioseconomicos.bce.fin.ec/index.php/RevistaCEOrganismo de gobiernowww.bce.fin.echttps://estudioseconomicos.bce.fin.ec/index.php/RevistaCE/oaiEcuadoropendoar:2025-09-03T17:28:37falsePortal de revistashttps://estudioseconomicos.bce.fin.ec/index.php/RevistaCEOrganismo de gobiernowww.bce.fin.echttps://estudioseconomicos.bce.fin.ec/index.php/RevistaCE/oaiEcuadoropendoar:2025-09-03T17:28:37Revista Cuestiones Económicas - Banco Central del Ecuadorfalse |
