Skill Remoteness and Post-Layoff Labor Market Outcomes
研究了工人被裁员时其最后一份工作的技能与当地其他工作的差异程度（技能陌生度）如何影响后续收入、职业转换、再就业和迁移，发现技能陌生度越高，收入损失越持久，职业转换概率越大，且经济衰退期被摧毁的工作技能陌生度更高。
Local skill remoteness captures the dissimilarity between the skill profiles of a worker’s last job and other jobs in a local labor market. Higher skill remoteness at layoff is associated with persistently lower earnings after layoff, a higher probability of changing occupation, a lower probability of being reemployed at jobs with similar skill profiles, and a higher propensity to migrate. Jobs destroyed in recessions are also more skill remote than those lost in booms. The local skill remoteness of jobs is an empirically relevant factor to explain the severity and cyclicality of displaced workers’ earnings losses and reallocation patterns.
