Are Shirking and Leisure Substitutable? An Empirical Test of Efficiency Wages Based on Urban Economic Theory

Ross, Stephen L.; Zenou, Yves - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2007

allow for behavioral substitution between leisure time at home and effort at work. In equilibrium, residing at a location … with a long commute affects the time available for leisure at home and therefore affects the trade-off between effort at … wages, which are both consistent with shirking and leisure being substitutable. …

How Do Firms Redline Workers?

Zenou, Yves - 2002

In a city where individuals endogenously choose their residential location, firms determine their spatial efficiency wage and a geographical red line beyond which they do not recruit workers. This is because workers experiencing longer commuting trips provide lower effort levels than those...

Spatial Mismatch: From the Hypothesis to the Theories

Selod, Harris; Gobillon, Laurent; Zenou, Yves - 2003

Since the 1950s, there has been a steady decentralization of entry-level jobs towards the suburbs of American cities, while racial minorities ?and particularly blacks? have remained in city centers. In this context, the spatial mismatch hypothesis argues that because the residential locations of...

Equilibrium Search Unemployment with Explicit Spatial Frictions

Wasmer, Etienne; Zenou, Yves - 2005

Assuming that job search efficiency decreases with distance to jobs, workers? location in a city depends on spatial elements such as commuting costs and land prices and on labour elements such as wages and the matching technology. In the absence of moving costs, we show that there exists a...

Space, Search and Efficiency

Wasmer, Etienne; Zenou, Yves - 2000

We investigate the role of spatial frictions in search equilibrium unemployment. For that, we develop a model of the labor market in which workers? location in an agglomeration depends on commuting costs, the endogenous price of land and the value of job search and employment. We first show that...

Endogenous Job Destruction and Job Matching in Cities

Zenou, Yves - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 2007

We propose a spatial search-matching model where both job creation and job destruction are endogenous. Workers are ex ante identical but not ex post since their job can be hit by a technological shock, which decreases their productivity. They reside in a city and commuting to the job center...
