Relocating to Peripheral Cities: Development and Diversity From Relocating Government Jobs
研究了丹麦政府将中央岗位迁往农村市镇对当地劳动力市场的影响，发现政府就业增加但私人就业和多样性未受显著影响。
ABSTRACT The local labor market effects of relocating central government jobs to cities in rural municipalities is investigated by considering two small‐scale interventions by the Danish government in the mid‐2000s. We leverage the Synthetic Control Method to compare the two affected municipalities to a synthetic counterfactual. Results show that relocating central government jobs: (1) increased government employment; (2) had no impact on private employment; and (3) had little impact on diversity even if (1) and (2) suggest otherwise. These results add new insights into the effects of small‐scale relocations relative to previous contributions.
