Instituto Superior de Economia e Gestão - DE Working papers nº 24-2007/DE/UECE0874-4548http://hdl.handle.net/10400.5/2593Positions offered on a labour market and workers preferences are here described by bit-strings representing individual traits. We study the co-evolution of workers and firm preferences modeled by such traits. Individual "size-like" properties are controlled by binary en¬counters which outcome depends upon a recognition process. De¬pending upon the parameter set-up, mutual selection of workers and positions results in different types of attractors, either an exclusive niches regime or a competition regime.engSocial SystemsEconomic Systemsworking paper
