Outline of Research at the Start |
Transfer of human resources from public sectors to non-public sectors does not necessarily increase the efficiency, due to the negative political effects and positive human capital spillovers. Given the theoretical mixed effects, it is important to provide empirical evidence. However, there is little empirical evidence on this issue, especially on non-profit organizations such as universities, due to the available data and econometric challenges. This project provides the effect of labor force influx from public to non-public sectors and clarify the mechanisms by using micro data in Japan.

Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
Regardless of the large number of transfers from public sectors to other sectors, there is rare evidence on the effect of central administrators, mainly due to the availability of data and potential endogeneity problems. Thus, it is important to provide the causal effect of labor force from public sectors to non-profit organizations and clarify the mechanisms. In this year, I got the solid result of the effect of the transfer of public administrators on local governments. I also presented the result in a seminar and polished the manuscript based on the comments which I received. In the next year (in 2023), it is expected the paper will be out.

Current Status of Research Progress |
Current Status of Research Progress
2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.
Reason
The goal of the second year (in 2022) was to finish the basic empirical analysis. I ran regressions and get the empirical results on the effect of the transfer of central administrators. I also gave presentations and interact with other economists to get feedback.

Strategy for Future Research Activity |
The goal of the last year (in 2023) is to finish writing up a paper.
