University graduates in metropolitan and peripheral areas: mobility, occupational choice and outcomes
研究对比了来自大都市和边缘地区的大学毕业生在流动性、职业选择与收入表现上的差异，发现边缘地区留本地工作的毕业生表现较差，而创业者留本地反而受益，对区域人才政策有参考价值。
This study explores the relationship between mobility patterns, occupational choices and performance outcomes of university graduates from metropolitan and peripheral areas. After statistical matching, we find opposite outcomes for geographically mobile wage earners and entrepreneurs. Graduates from the periphery who stay in the study region to work have an inferior performance outcome compared with those who move to the metropolitan region. This ‘penalty’ is not present for non-movers in metropolitan areas. Non-mobile entrepreneurs benefit from attachment to their home region, in particular in the periphery. These findings can help direct regional policy aimed at retaining graduates and promoting regional development.
