In recent years, research about the influence of occupations on labor market processes and inequality has recovered rapidly in importance. Studies on occupational closure have revealed that occupations have different modes of regulations which impact the wage structure in the labor market. This literature, however, is limited to occupational closure processes; additionally, empirical indicators which operationalize the regulation of occupations more accurately are needed.Against this background, this project aims to investigate on the basis of new empirical indicators the effect of different levels of occupational regulation on closure as well as on general matching and mobility processes in the labor market. Specifically, we investigate the following research questions: First, does the regulation of occupations facilitate the matching process? And, secondly, do regulatory mechanisms restrict occupational mobility on the labor market, and if so, how and to what extent? Finally, what are the consequences of occupational regulation on individual labor market outcomes?For the empirical implementation we plan to use the IAB Job Vacancy Survey (EGS). The EGS is the only survey in Germany which provides representative and statistically valid data on matching processes. Secondly, we intend to use the Sample of Integrated Labor Market Biographies (SIAB). The SIAB is a two percent sample of all persons whose employment is subject to social security in Germany. Its large number of cases enables us to conduct meaningful analyses at the occupational level. Both data sets are especially suitable to answer the outlined research questions, but lack information on occupational regulation. Therefore, we supplement these data sets by indicators that measure the level of occupational regulation. We base our analyses on indicators describing the institutional features of occupations. To check their suitability with regard to our research questions we also want to integrate alternative measurements of occupational regulation.As a result, we expect to produce high-level publications contributing to the knowledge about occupational regulation on the one hand and labor market outcomes on the other. Secondly, we intend to provide insights into the operationalization of occupational regulations and its suitability for empirical labour market and inequality research. Third, the results will be valuable for labour market policy with regard to different modes of institutional arrangements of occupations.

近年来，有关职业对劳动力市场进程和不平等影响的研究的重要性迅速恢复。对职业封闭的研究表明，职业有不同的监管模式，影响着劳动力市场的工资结构。然而，这些文献仅限于职业封闭过程；此外，还需要更准确地实施职业监管的经验指标。在此背景下，本项目旨在基于新的经验指标来调查不同级别的职业监管对封闭以及一般匹配和流动过程的影响在劳动力市场上。具体来说，我们探讨了以下研究问题：第一，职业的监管是否促进了匹配过程？其次，监管机制是否限制劳动力市场上的职业流动？如果限制，如何限制以及限制程度如何？最后，职业监管对个人劳动力市场结果的影响是什么？对于实证实施，我们计划使用 IAB 职位空缺调查（EGS）。 EGS 是德国唯一提供有关匹配过程的代表性且统计有效数据的调查。其次，我们打算使用综合劳动力市场传记样本（SIAB）。 SIAB 是德国所有受社会保障就业人员的 2% 样本。其大量的案例使我们能够在职业层面进行有意义的分析。这两个数据集特别适合回答概述的研究问题，但缺乏职业监管信息。因此，我们通过衡量职业监管水平的指标来补充这些数据集。我们的分析基于描述职业制度特征的指标。为了检查它们对我们的研究问题的适用性，我们还希望整合职业监管的替代衡量标准。因此，我们期望出版高水平出版物，一方面有助于了解职业监管知识，另一方面有助于了解劳动力市场结果其他。其次，我们打算提供有关职业法规的可操作性及其对实证劳动力市场和不平等研究的适用性的见解。第三，研究结果对于不同职业制度安排模式的劳动力市场政策具有重要价值。
