Aún más significativa es la fuerte disparidad regional en el recurso a las ETT que existe entre las provincias españolas. A partir de un sencillo modelo teórico, y con metodología de datos de panel, este artículo sugiere que los costes de reclutamiento, entrenamiento y selección podrían explicar gran parte de dicha disparidad. Esta conclusión, estaría fundada en la evidencia empírica de que la cuota de mercado de las ETT es mayor en mercados con bajas tasas de desempleo, donde la duración media del paro es mayor y en aquellas provincias con más concentración de población urbana, respectivamente.Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú2013-01-23info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://revistas.pucp.edu.pe/index.php/economia/article/view/770110.18800/economia.201302.004Economía; Volume 36 Issue 72 (2013); 117-1422304-43060254-4415reponame:Revistas - Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perúinstname:Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perúinstacron:PUCPspahttp://revistas.pucp.edu.pe/index.php/economia/article/view/7701/7947Derechos de autor 2013 Economíahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:revistaspuc:article/77012025-07-04T15:14:52Z
