Abstract

Using individual-level, geocode data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth's 1997 cohort, I ask whether business dynamism in local labor markets, defined as the rates of job creation and establishment entry, affects the location decisions of labor force participants, and I examine how effects differ for highly and less educated labor force participants. I find that a one standard deviation increase in business dynamism is associated with a 2%–4% increase in the probability a college graduate chooses a metropolitan statistical area and an 8%–15% decrease for high school graduates with no college experience. These results support recent findings documenting a decrease in responsiveness to local labor market conditions and suggest that incentivizing job creation in local labor markets may not be enough to offset the trend of declining internal migration in the United States.

商业活力、教育程度和居住地点选择
我使用1997年全国青年纵向调查的个人层面的地理编码数据,询问当地劳动力市场的商业活力(定义为创造就业机会和进入机构的比率)是否会影响劳动力参与者的位置决策,并研究受教育程度高和受教育程度低的劳动力参与者的影响有何不同。我发现,商业活力的一个标准差增加与大学毕业生选择大都市统计区的概率增加2%-4%有关,而没有大学经验的高中毕业生则减少8%-15%。这些结果支持了最近的研究结果,记录了对当地劳动力市场条件的反应性下降,并表明激励当地劳动力市场创造就业机会可能不足以抵消美国国内移民下降的趋势。
