This paper aims to identify and characterize the potential of green jobs in Argentina, i.e., those that would benefit from a transition to a green economy, using occupational green potential scores calculated in US O*NET data. We apply the greenness scores to Argentine household survey data and estimate that 25% of workers are in green jobs, i.e., have a high green potential. However, when taking into account the informality dimension, we find that 15% of workers and 12% of wage earners are in formal green jobs. We then analyze the relationship between the greenness scores (with emphasis on the nexus with decent work) and various labor and demographic variables at the individual level. We find that for the full sample of workers the green potential is relatively greater for men, the elderly, those with very high qualifications, those in formal positions, and those in specific sectors such as construction, transportation, mining, and industry. These are the groups that are likely to be the most benefited by the greening of the Argentine economy. When we restrict the sample to wage earners, the green potential score is positively associated with informality.
Es un hecho conocido que las tarifas que cobran los alojamientos varían entre sí. Uno de los motivos es que los alojamientos difieren en atributos. Estos atributos incluyen no solo la calidad de la habitación, sino también el acceso a varias instalaciones compartidas, la cali-dad del servicio y la evalu-ación que hacen los consumidores. El enfoque de precios hedóni-cos permite estimar la disposición a pagar por las características del producto (alojamientos). Este enfoque establece que el precio de un producto puede considerarse como una función de los diversos atributos que tienen un precio implícito y pueden determinarse por separado. Teniendo en cuenta esta metodología y utilizando datos de dos sitios web turísticos, Booking y Airbnb, el objetivo de este trabajo es estudiar la influen-cia de una variedad de atributos sobre las tarifas cobradas por alojamientos en la Provincia de Buenos Aires (PBA) y la Ciudad de Buenos Aires. (CABA). Los resultados sugieren que la disposición a pagar en PBA por atributos más tradicionales (calefacción, aire acondicionado, etc.) es menor que la de especí-ficos (deportes, spa, etc.). En CABA y PBA, se debe prestar atención a los atributos subje-tivos ya que también tienen un impacto significativo en el precio.
