dc.description.tableofcontents | This paper studies the effect of a civil service reform on the skills
profile of new teachers in Mexico. The reform mandated the use
of rule-based recruitment over discretionary hiring. Our results
show that the reform led to hiring teachers with higher cognitive
skills. We also show that an improvement in the bottom of the
skills distribution of new hires drove this change. Two channels
explain these effects. First, the reform decreased the prevalence
of discretionary hires, who tended to be drawn from the bot tom of the skills distribution. Second, the reform improved the
screening efficiency of rule-based hiring, making cognitive skills
more important determinants of hiring outcomes. | es_ES |
