讲座内容摘要:
This paper studies the scarring effect of job displacement on workers' commuting costs to subsequent jobs. Using matched German employee-employer data, geo-coordinates of workers' residences and workplaces, and a matched event study design, we estimate the response of workers' commuting distances to job displacement in mass layoffs. After displacement, workers take up jobs that require 21 percent longer commuting, and the effect persists in the subsequent 10 years. To quantify the monetary value of increased commuting, we develop an on-the-job search model and structurally estimate workers' willingness to pay to avoid commuting. The extra commuting cost amounts to one-fifth of the wage losses facing displaced workers, thereby exacerbating the total cost of job displacement.
本文研究了工作转移对工人后续工作通勤成本的创伤效应。使用匹配的德国雇员-雇主数据、工人住所和工作场所的地理坐标以及事件研究,我们估计了大规模裁员中工人通勤距离对工作调整的响应。失业后,工人们从事的工作需要延长21%的通勤时间,这种影响将持续10年。为了量化通勤增加的货币价值,我们开发了一个在职搜索模型,并从结构上估计了工人为避免通勤而支付的意愿。额外的通勤成本相当于失业工人工资损失的五分之一,从而加剧了失业的总成本。
