Are College Graduates More Responsive to Distant Labor Market Opportunities?
利用三十年美国人口普查数据，研究大学毕业生与高中毕业生在进入劳动力市场时，是否更倾向于迁往劳动力需求高的州，发现大学毕业生对需求冲击的反应强数倍，但工资影响仍不低于低学历者。
Abstract Are highly educated workers better at locating in areas with high labor demand? To answer this question, I use three decades of U.S. Census data to estimate a McFadden-style model of residential location choice. I test for education differentials in the likelihood that young workers reside in states experiencing positive labor demand shocks at the time these workers entered the labor market. I find effects of changes in state labor demand on college graduate location choice that are several times greater than for high school graduates. Nevertheless, medium-run wage effects of entry labor market conditions for college graduates equal or exceed those of less-educated workers.
