Abstract
In contrast to the vast literature on unemployment, not much is known about vacancies in developing economies such as India. We observe discernible inter-firm differences in the firm recruitment behavior. We explore the determinants of vacancy in Indian firms among management graduates. Using uni-variate and bi-variate patterns, we fit a model that posits vacancy as a function of year of existence, percent of management graduates, organization type, skill gap and off the job training. Using a probit model, we estimate chances of vacancies as a function of years of existence, percentage of management graduates, organization type, skill-gap and off the job training.
