In this project we explore the links between education and production activity. We want to quantify the phenomena of undereducation, overeducation, and generically the mismatch between education and the labor market in Portugal. We also want to determine its recent evolution and its impact on productivity and productivity gaps between Portugal and other developed economies, specifically within the European Union. Productivity Differences have also been explained by the type of education investment made by each country or group of countries (Aghion and Howitt, 2006; Jones, 2008; Krueger and Kumar, 2004). This issue can be studied in terms of the adequacy of general or vocational education to a country's productive structure or of the adequacy of different fields of study to that productive structure. This motivates us to think that other features of the relationship between education and the productive system can affect productivity differences. The main aim of the project is to identify the role the levels of mismatch have in explaining productivity differences inside and between countries.
