The impact of long‐distance commuting on salaries and employment in host regions in Chile
研究了远距离通勤对智利接收地区本地居民薪资和就业的负面影响,发现当通勤者与本地居民竞争相似岗位时,本地居民受损。
Abstract Long‐distance commuting (LDC) is an increasingly relevant strategy of labor mobility worldwide and is therefore key to understanding the structure and dynamics of labor markets. However, little is known about the effect that LDC has on the labor market equilibrium of host territories. This paper addresses this gap for the case of Chile. While LDC is a useful strategy for improving salary and employment on a national scale, our results show a negative effect for residents in host territories (on a local scale), particularly when LDC results in commuters with similar characteristics to residents competing for the same jobs.
