Citations in the corpus

• Skills at work, 1986 to 2006 (2007, background): “However, according to the 2001 Skills Survey it rose markedly around the turn of the century (Green et al., 2002; Felstead et al., 2002).”
• Is Any Job Better than No Job? Life Satisfaction and Re-employment (2010, background): “For a comprehensive discussion of overeducation and related concepts, see Green et al. (2002).”
• Is there a genuine under-utilization of skills amongst the over-qualified? (2007, background): “…may prevent individuals from moving to accept the most appropriate job.3 Some existing evidence supporting this mismatch explanation derives from the finding that workers with families, especially part-time workers, are more likely to be found amongst the over-qualified (Green et al., 2002).”
• The Determinants of Overeducation: Different Measures, Different Outcomes? (2010, background): “1 Some evidence. for instance, shows that less-able workers are more likely to be overeducated (Green et al., 2002).”
• Overeducation and the skills of UK graduates (2007, background): “Associate Professionals and Managers are not dissatisfied with their match but few claim it to be ideal, whereas those in Administration/Clerical and Other occupations had a greater propensity to see their match as very inappropriate.”
• The Quality of Higher Education and Employability of Graduates (2010, background): “This may refer to both over- and under-education, where over-education represents the kind of mismatch that occurs most frequently (Groot & van de Brink, 2000; Allen & van der Velden, 2001; Green et al., 2002).”
• Employability skills initiatives in higher education: what effects do they have on graduate labour market outcomes? (2009, background): “Other strands of matching theory emphasise the role of institutional and labour market rigidities in contributing to mismatches between job‐seekers and employers; for example, the higher incidence of under‐utilisation of skills among female graduates who combine part‐time employment with care of you”
• Is Mass Higher Education Working? Evidence from the Labour Market Experiences of Recent Graduates (2004, background): “5 AB Sloane et al. (1999) estimate 31 per cent, Dolton and Vignoles (2000) estimate 30–38 per cent, Green et al. (2002) produce a figure of 46 per cent and Alpin et al. (1998) report 20–30 per cent.”
• Overqualification, Job Dissatisfaction, and Increasing Dispersion in the Returns to Graduate Education (2010, background): “Some overqualification is itself related to lower ability (Green et al., 2002).”
• Overeducation in the Labour Market (2006, unknown): “OVEREDUCATION 399 # 2006 The Author Journal compilation # 2006 Blackwell Publishing Ltd Green et al. (2002) highlight potential heterogeneity effects that may arise because of grade drift, although they found little evidence to support it in a UK context.”
• Work skills in Britain, 1986-2001 (2002, background): “In previous analyses it was observed that the prevalence of ‘over-qualified’ workers in Britain, while increasing in the 1970s and early 1980s, had remained fairly stable in the ensuing period until 1997 (Green et al., 2002).”
• Cross-country differences in graduate overeducation (2013, methodology): “If this results in a drop of the average productivity of graduates, employers will apply more stringent selection criteria for these types of job seekers (Green et al., 2002).”
