Job mobility equilibrates disparities on local labor markets and influences the efficiency of the job matching process …. In this paper, we describe a job matching model that allows for simultaneous regional and occupational mobility … occupations in distinct regions. We specify a matching function for these local labor markets with regional spillovers …

We propose a framework to identify and estimate earnings distributions and worker composition on matched panel data, allowing for two-sided worker-firm unobserved heterogeneity. We introduce two models: a static model that allows for nonlinear interactions between workers and firms, and a...
