Die neue Weiterbildungsliteratur zeigt auf, dass Arbeitgeber in monopsonistisch geprägten Märkten bereit sind, nicht nur die Kosten für firmenspezifische, sondern auch für allgemeine Weiterbildung zu tragen, wenn das Risiko, dass Mitarbeiter abgeworben werden, gering ist. Dies bedeutet, dass...

Local labor markets and human capital investments

Weinstein, Russell - 2017

I study whether human capital investments are based on local rather than national demand, and whether this is explained by migration or information frictions. I analyze three sector-specific shocks with differential local effects, including the dot-com crash, the 2008 financial crisis, and a...

Frictional labor mobility

Schmutz, Benoît; Sidibé, Modibo - 2016

We build a dynamic model of migration where, in addition to classical mobility costs, workers face informational frictions that decrease their ability to compete for distant job opportunities. We structurally estimate the model on a matched employer-employee panel dataset describing labor market...

Local labor markets should be redefined : new definitions based on estimated demand-shock spillovers

Bartik, Timothy J. - 2024

This paper provides estimates that lead to better U.S. labor market definitions. Current U.S. labor market definitions-for example, metropolitan areas and commuting zones-are unsatisfactory because they are ad hoc and usually do not correspond to commonly used local planning areas. This paper...

The decline of routine tasks, education investments, and intergenerational mobility

Bennett, Patrick; Liu, Kai; Salvanes, Kjell G. - 2023

How does a large structural change to the labor market affect education investments made at young ages? Exploiting differential exposure to the national decline in routine-task intensity across local labor markets, we show that the secular decline in routine tasks causes major shifts in...

Job polarization on local labor markets? : paper prepared for presentation at the Tasks IV Conference, Mannheim 29 July 2016

Blien, Uwe; Dauth, Wolfgang - 2016

In most industrialized countries, employment has grown predominately in jobs at the upper and lower tails of the wage distribution, while employment in the middle part of the distribution has stagnated or declined. This process of job polarization is well documented for a number of countries. We...

Recessions and local labor market hysteresis

Hershbein, Brad; Stuart, Bryan A. - 2020

This paper studies the effects of each U.S. recession since 1973 on local labor markets. We find that recession-induced declines in employment are permanent, suggesting that local areas experience permanent declines in labor demand relative to less-affected areas. Population also falls,...
