Social identity and labor market outcomes of internal migrant workers
研究中国内部流动农民工的本地身份认同如何影响其工资和工作时间，发现认同本地身份与更高时薪和更短工时相关，但月收入变化不大，且这类农民工更倾向利用本地网络求职。
Previous research on internal mobility has neglected the role of local identity contrary to studies analyzing international migration. Examining social identity and labor market outcomes in China, the country with the largest internal mobility in the world, closes the gap. Instrumental variable estimation and careful robustness checks suggest that identifying as local associates with higher migrants’ hourly wages and lower hours worked, although monthly earnings seem to remain largely unchanged. Migrants with strong local identity are more likely to use local networks in job search, and to obtain jobs with higher average wages and lower average hours worked, suggesting the value of integration policies.
