Spatial Mismatch in Search Equilibrium
构建了一个包含中心城区和郊区劳动力市场的搜索均衡模型,解释了中心城区居民失业率更高、郊区企业职位空缺率更高、反向通勤和郊区工资更高等现象,并评估了缓解空间错配的公共政策效果。
We construct a search equilibrium model for a city with central and suburban labor markets that is consistent with the set of empirical regularities commonly associated with the spatial mismatch hypothesis: a higher rate of unemployment for central city residents than suburban residents, a higher job vacancy rate for suburban firms, and reverse commuting and higher suburban wages. The effectiveness and welfare implications of public policy programs that might be used to remedy the underlying mismatch are examined. Copyright 2001 by University of Chicago Press.
