Teleworking as a mitigator of the economic impacts of the CO VID-19 pandemic.The case of Argentina

We estimate the role of teleworking as a mitigator of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic shock on the Argentine labor market. To that aim, we analyze the link between occupational-level teleworking potential scores, estimated from three different surveys (O*NET, PIAAC, and STEP) and labor market ou...

To that aim, we analyze the link between occupational-level teleworking potential scores, estimated from three different surveys (O*NET, PIAAC, and STEP) and labor market outcomes at the individual level, exploiting the rotating panel structure of the Argentine national household survey. We find that during the peak of the pandemic-related restrictions, the potential for teleworking was positively correlated with the probability of being active and employed. These effects are concentrated in the subsample of “non-essential” workers. In contrast, we find no systematic effects of teleworking potential on employment transitions prior to the pandemic, a reassuring result consistent with our identification strategy.Este artículo estima el papel del teletrabajo como mitigador del impacto de la pandemia del COVID-19 en el mercado laboral argentino. Para ese propósito, se analiza la relación entre el potencial de teletrabajo a nivel ocupacional estimado en base a tres encuestas diferentes (O*NET, PIAAC, y STEP), y los resultados del mercado laboral a nivel individual, explotando la estructura de paneles rotativos de la encuesta nacional de hogares. Se encontró que durante el pico de las restricciones por la pandemia, el potencial del teletrabajo estuvo positivamente relacionado con la probabilidad de estar activo y empleado. Estos efectos están concentrados en la submuestra de trabajadores “no esenciales”. Por el contrario, no encontramos efectos sistemáticos del potencial del teletrabajo en las transiciones laborales antes de la pandemia, lo cual es un resultado consistente con nuestra estrategia de identificación.application/pdfUniversidad EAFIThttps://publicaciones.eafit.edu.co/index.php/ecos-economia/article/view/7063https://publicaciones.eafit.edu.co/index.php/ecos-economia/article/view/7063Copyright © 2021 Pablo de la Vega, Leonardo GaspariniopenAccessLibre accesohttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Ecos de Economía, Vol. 25, Núm. 53, 2021Teleworking as a mitigator of the economic impacts of the CO VID-19 pandemic.The case of ArgentinaEl teletrabajo como mitigador de los impactos económicos de la pandemia del COVID-19.
