摘要

本文探讨了工作在技术变革中的作用——前沿工作——作为繁荣和空间收入不平等的驱动因素。使用新的方法和数据，我们分析了1880年至2019年边境工人的地理位置和收入。最初，前沿工作集中在一组“苗床”位置，通过强大的本地化工资溢价加剧了空间不平等。随着技术的成熟，前沿工作的经济特色逐渐减弱，曼彻斯特和底特律等城市最终也发生了这种情况。我们的工作揭示了空间收入不平等发展的一个看似合理的一般起源故事。

Frontier workers and the seedbeds of inequality and prosperity

This article examines the role of work at the cutting of technological change—frontier work—as a driver of prosperity and spatial income inequality. Using new methods and data, we analyze the geography and incomes of frontier workers from 1880 to 2019. Initially, frontier work is concentrated in a set of ‘seedbed’ locations, contributing to rising spatial inequality through powerful localized wage premiums. As technologies mature, the economic distinctiveness of frontier work diminishes, as ultimately happened to cities like Manchester and Detroit. Our work uncovers a plausible general origin story of the unfolding of spatial income inequality.

期刊介绍： The aims of the Journal of Economic Geography are to redefine and reinvigorate the intersection between economics and geography, and to provide a world-class journal in the field. The journal is steered by a distinguished team of Editors and an Editorial Board, drawn equally from the two disciplines. It publishes original academic research and discussion of the highest scholarly standard in the field of ''economic geography'' broadly defined. Submitted papers are refereed, and are evaluated on the basis of their creativity, quality of scholarship, and contribution to advancing understanding of the geographic nature of economic systems and global economic change.
