Job Loss and Regional Mobility
研究发现失业会增加工人迁移的可能性，但家庭纽带等非经济因素对迁移决策影响很大，且迁移后收入变化因目的地不同而异，例如从农村迁往城市能显著提高长期收入。
We study the migration behavior of displaced workers and find that job displacement increases regional mobility. We find, however, that noneconomic factors, such as family ties, are very important for the migration decision and that there is strong heterogeneity in outcomes. We find large income losses for workers who move to regions where they have family or to rural areas, while, for example, rural to urban movers realize a significant long-term earnings increase. We also find that life events related to fertility, divorce, and new relationships correlate with mobility after job loss and may partly explain the large income losses.
