Do commuters suffer from job--education mismatch?

Author

  • Peter Huber

Abstract

Cross-border commuters from EU15 countries have lower over- but higher undereducation rates than noncommuters. For cross-border commuters from the NMS12 countries the opposite applies. Within-country commuters have lower over- but higher undereducation rates than noncommuters in both regions.
