Demand Shifts, Population Adjustments, and Labor Market Outcomes during the 1980s
研究了1980年代美国大都市区劳动力需求变化和人口调整对不同人群就业和收入的影响,发现低教育人群对需求变化的人口调整较小,导致其在衰退地区就业和收入恶化更严重。
In this paper we explore the effects of labor demand shifts and population adjustments across metropolitan areas on the employment and earnings of various demographic groups during the 1980s. We find that population shifts across areas at least partially offset the effects of these demand shifts, but less-educated workers showed substantially lower population adjustments in response to these demand shifts. These limited supply responses apparently contributed importantly to relatively greater deterioration of employment and earnings of these groups in declining areas during the 1980s.
