摘要

许多州级政策都会影响雇员和雇主的选址决策。由于大多数工作都需要某种形式的通勤，影响地点选择的州级政策之一就是车速限制。我们考虑了限速对美国西部山区劳动力规模的影响。我们的分析利用了亚利桑那州、科罗拉多州、爱达荷州、蒙大拿州、内华达州、新墨西哥州、犹他州和怀俄明州 281 个县在 2004-2018 年期间改变车速限制的自然实验。利用 "纵向雇主-家庭动态"（Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics）项目提供的原籍-目的地数据中揭示的通勤行为，我们用通勤者的半径来衡量地理上的劳动力缺口大小。通过采用空间面板方法来评估限速对包围半径的影响，我们发现有证据支持限速越高，劳动力包围半径越大的假设。

The impact of speed limits on labour sheds in the mountain west United States

Many state-level policies impact the location decisions of both employees and employers. As most jobs require some form of commute, one such state-level policy impacting location choices are speed limits. We consider the effect of speed limits on the size of the labour sheds in the mountain west United States. Our analysis leverages the natural experiment of changing speed limits in the 281 counties of Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming over the years 2004–2018. Utilizing the revealed commuting behaviour in the origin-destination data available through the Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics program we measure the geographic labour shed size as the radius of containment of commuters. Employing spatial panel methods to evaluate the significance of speed limits on the radius of containment we find evidence in favor of the hypothesis that higher speed limits correspond to larger labour sheds.

期刊介绍： Regional Science Policy & Practice (RSPP) is the official policy and practitioner orientated journal of the Regional Science Association International. It is an international journal that publishes high quality papers in applied regional science that explore policy and practice issues in regional and local development. It welcomes papers from a range of academic disciplines and practitioners including planning, public policy, geography, economics and environmental science and related fields. Papers should address the interface between academic debates and policy development and application. RSPP provides an opportunity for academics and policy makers to develop a dialogue to identify and explore many of the challenges facing local and regional economies.
