The Effect of Residential Crowding on Labor Productivity with Evidence from the Twilight of Polish Socialism
研究了人均住房存量低如何通过降低劳动力流动性来抑制劳动生产率，并用1989年波兰区域数据进行了实证检验。
This paper considers the effect of low per capita housing stock on labor productivity. Theoretically, a negative effect may be expected. Low per capita housing leads to greater difficulty in finding housing, which in turn leads to reduced labor mobility and a less productive allocation of labor. A dynamic model is developed which displays this relationship and which takes into account inter‐regional migratory flows induced by regional labor productivity differentials. The empirical part of the paper focuses on cross‐sectional information, using primarily 1989 Polish data aggregated at the regional level.
