摘要

我们研究了机会区(OZs)对职位发布的影响，使用的数据包括美国在线职位发布的近宇宙数据。OZs计划为指定的贫困社区的投资提供税收减免，这些社区由各州州长根据多种因素提名。我们使用倾向得分匹配来解释这些因素，并在匹配样本上使用差异中的差异模型来估计程序的效果。尽管我们确实在城市地区、黑人人口中位数以上的地区和一些州发现了小的积极影响，但我们发现OZs对平均职位发布的任何影响的证据有限。

JUE Insight: What is the impact of opportunity zones on job postings?

We study the effect of Opportunity Zones (OZs) on job postings using data comprising the near-universe of U.S. online job postings. The OZs program grants tax breaks for investment in designated distressed communities, nominated by each state’s governor based on multiple factors. We use propensity score matching to account for those factors and a difference-in-differences model over the matched sample to estimate the effect of the program. We find limited evidence of any effect of OZs on job postings on average, although we do find small positive effects in urban areas, in areas with above median Black population, and in some states.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Urban Economics provides a focal point for the publication of research papers in the rapidly expanding field of urban economics. It publishes papers of great scholarly merit on a wide range of topics and employing a wide range of approaches to urban economics. The Journal welcomes papers that are theoretical or empirical, positive or normative. Although the Journal is not intended to be multidisciplinary, papers by noneconomists are welcome if they are of interest to economists. Brief Notes are also published if they lie within the purview of the Journal and if they contain new information, comment on published work, or new theoretical suggestions.
