Localized mobility clusters: impacts of labour market externalities on firm performance
利用瑞典全国数据，分析劳动力市场外部性对企业绩效的影响，发现属于本地工作流动网络的企业显著优于其他同类企业，且同类企业集聚效应不明显。
This article analyses the impact of labour market-induced externalities on firm performance by using a unique database that connects attributes of individuals to workplaces for the entire Swedish economy. Based on the analysis of 256,985 workplaces, our results show that firms belonging to networks of local job mobility (i.e. 'localized mobility clusters') significantly outperform other similar firms within the local labour market. The results also indicate that concentrations of similar and related firms do not explain any considerable part of the variations in firm competitiveness. Labour market externalities derived via local job mobility produce significantly more powerful effects for the involved firms as compared to the degree of co-location, diversity and scale.
