Resumen
DE LA VEGA, Pablo y GASPARINI, Leonardo. Teleworking as a mitigator of The economic impacts of The coViD-19 pandemic. The case of Argentina. ecos.econ. [online]. 2021, vol.25, n.53, pp.90-135. Epub 20-Ene-2023. ISSN 1657-4206.
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 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.
