This paper develops a model of sectoral labor mobility and tests its main implications. The model nests two distinct hypotheses on the origin of mobility: (a) sectoral shocks, and (b) worker-employer mismatch. The relative importance of each hypothesis is estimated; it was found that the bulk of labor mobility is caused by mismatch rather than by sectoral shift.
