Nonparametric Estimation of Matching Efficiency and Elasticity in a Spot Gig Work Platform: 2019-2023
This paper provides new evidence on spot gig work platforms for unemployed workers searching for occupations with minimal educational or experience requirements in Japan. Using proprietary data from a private online spot work matching platform, Timee, it examines trends in key variables such as the numbers of unemployed users, vacancies, hires, and labor market tightness. The study compares these trends with part-time worker data from the public employment platform, Hello Work. The private platform shows a significant market expansion from December 2019 to December 2023. Applying a novel nonparametric approach, the paper finds greater variability in efficiency and higher elasticity, with elasticity with respect to the number of users fluctuating from below 0.7 to above 1.5, and elasticity with respect to the number of vacancies often exceeding 1.0, which is higher than Hello Work. Lastly, the study highlights less geographical heterogeneity of the spot work compared to Hello Work.
