The Geography of Jobs and the Gender Wage Gap
研究发现，女性为缩短通勤时间而接受更低工资的倾向，只有在工作地理分布导致通勤缩短有工资惩罚时才会造成性别工资差距；住在市中心或高薪工作集中地区的工人，通勤和工资差距较小。
Abstract Prior studies show that women are more willing to accept lower wages for shorter commutes than men. We show that gender differences in commuting preferences lead to a gender wage gap only if there is a wage penalty for shortening commutes, determined by the geography of jobs. We demonstrate this by showing that the commuting and wage gaps are considerably smaller among workers living near city centers, especially for occupations with a high geographic concentration of high-wage jobs. We highlight the geography of jobs as a key force that amplifies the impact of commuting preferences on the gender wage gap.
