The Economic Burden of Human Capital Mismatch
We develop a human capital mismatch index for a sample of 107 countries and provide empirical evidence
for an inverse relationship between human capital mismatch and total factor productivity.
We then use our empirical estimates to develop an interactive web-based application that allows for
the illustration and visualization of a country’s human capital mismatch profile and simulation
of the economic impact associated with changes in the country’s human capital mismatch performance.
