摘要

本文探讨了工作复杂性与集聚的关系。为此，我们评估了大城市的职位空缺是否比其他地方的类似职位需要更多的技能。利用在线职位空缺数据，我们可以实证分析职业技能要求的空间差异。结果表明，与人口稀少地区的类似工作相比，人口稠密地区的工作需要额外的技能。此外，我们还表明，大城市的工作需要更多样化的技能。这表明城市工作更加复杂。这些发现有助于解释城市的生产率溢价和城乡劳动力市场的空间不平等。

Does it take extra skills to work in a large city?

This paper explores the relationship between job complexity and agglomeration. For this, we assess whether vacancies in larger cities require more skills than vacancies for similar jobs elsewhere. The use of online job vacancy data allows us to empirically analyse the spatial variation in skill requirements within occupations. Results show that jobs in dense areas require extra skills compared to similar jobs in sparsely populated areas. Moreover, we show that jobs in large cities require a more diverse skill set. This indicates that urban jobs are more complex. These findings help explain the productivity premium of cities and spatial inequalities between urban and rural labour markets.

期刊介绍： Regional Science and Urban Economics facilitates and encourages high-quality scholarship on important issues in regional and urban economics. It publishes significant contributions that are theoretical or empirical, positive or normative. It solicits original papers with a spatial dimension that can be of interest to economists. Empirical papers studying causal mechanisms are expected to propose a convincing identification strategy.
