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 - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 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...

Dual Labor Markets, Urban Unemployment and Multicentric Cities
SMITH, Tony E.; ZENOU, Yves - Center for Operations Research and Econometrics (CORE), … - 1996
A two-sector model of urban unemployment is developed which focuses on the formation of a secondary sector under conditions in which a demand shock in the primary sector leads to a sharp increase in unemployment. The optimal location in the secondary sector (treated as a single firm) is shown to...

Spatial Mismatch: From the Hypothesis to the Theories
Gobillon, Laurent; Selod, Harris; Zenou, Yves - Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) - 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...

The mechanisms of spatial mismatch
Laurent, GOBILLON; Harris, SELOD; Yves, ZENOU - Laboratoire d'Economie Appliquee, INRA - 2007
The Spatial Mismatch Hypothesis (SMH) argues that low-skilled minorities residing in US inner cities experience poor labor-market outcomes because they are disconnected from suburban job opportunities. This assumption gave rise to an abundant empirical literature, which is rather supportive of...

The mechanisms of spatial mismatch
Gobillon, Laurent; Selod, Harris; Zenou, Yves - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2005
The Spatial Mismatch Hypothesis (SMH) argues that low-skilled minorities residing in U.S. inner cities experience poor labour-market outcomes because they are disconnected from suburban job opportunities. This assumption gave rise to an abundant empirical literature, which confirmed this...

Space And Unemployment: The Labour-Market Effects Of Spatial Mismatch
Brueckner, Jan; Zenou, Yves - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 2000
The aim of this paper is to analyse the effects of suburban housing discrimination on the wages and unemployment rates of black workers. In a duocentric city with efficiency wages, it is shown that, when blacks experience suburban housing discrimination, they face a higher unemployment rate in...
