This paper uses a German employer-employee matched panel data set to investigate the
effect of organizational and technological changes on gross job and worker flows. The
empirical results indicate that organizational change is skill-biased because it reduces
predominantly net employment growth rates of unskilled and medium-skilled workers via
higher job destruction and separation rates, whereas the employment patterns of skilled
workers are not affected significantly. New information technologies do not have significant
effects on gross job and worker flows as soon as establishment fixed-effects are controlled
for.
