COMPETITIVE AND IMPERFECTLY COMPETITIVE LABOR MARKETS IN URBAN AREAS*
构建了一个包含中央商务区竞争性市场和分散地方不完全竞争市场的空间劳动力模型，内生决定工资差异与市场规模，对研究城市劳动力市场结构的学者有参考价值。
ABSTRACT. In this paper, I present a model incorporating two kinds of spatial labor markets: a centralized competitive market at the central business district (CBD) and dispersed local markets across economic space under imperfect competition. Wage differentials and the size of the two types of markets are endogenously determined by rational choices of workers as well as profit maximization of firms. Workers can exercise rational choices with respect to market places where they commute and supply their labor. In this model, I attempt, in effect, to integrate the Hotelling‐type paradigm and the Samuelson‐type paradigm in a consistent spatial setting.
