Are Shirking and Leisure Substitutable? An Empirical Test of Efficiency Wages Based on Urban Economic Theory
Zenou, Yves - 2014
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...

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
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...

Endogenous job destruction and job matching in cities
Zenou, Yves (contributor) - 2008
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...
