基于职业任务内容构建绿色就业新测度，发现其具有顺周期、高技能、4%工资溢价和地理集中特征，且与地方绿色补贴、绿色知识及经济韧性正相关，一个绿色岗位可带动4.2个非贸易非绿色岗位。
Abstract This paper explores the nature and the key empirical regularities of green employment in US local labor markets in 2006–2014. The main methodological novelty consists of a new measure of green employment based on the task content of occupations. Descriptive analysis reveals that green employment is pro-cyclical, highly skilled, commands a 4% wage premium and is geographically concentrated. Green employment dynamics positively correlates with local green subsidies within the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, local green knowledge, and resilience to the great recession. Finally, we find that one additional green job is associated with 4.2 (2.2 in the crisis period) new local jobs in non-tradable non-green activities.
