Determinants of postdisplacement reemployment outcomes and occupation changes
研究了人口密度(集聚)和职业分布对美国工人失业后就业概率、职业转换可能性及新旧职业任务距离的影响,发现职业分布比集聚影响更大,对设计职业培训与搬迁补贴政策有参考价值。
Abstract We investigate the roles played by agglomeration (proxied by population density) and occupational distribution on postdisplacement employment outcomes for US workers, focusing on the probability of being employed, the likelihood of changing occupations, and the occupational distance between the old and new occupations (where occupational distance is defined as the difference in job tasks between two occupations). Overall, we find that the local occupational distribution has a greater impact on our outcome variables compared with our agglomeration measure. Our findings suggest policy makers should look closely at occupational distribution when designing job training programs and proposals for relocation vouchers.
