摘要

我们研究了短期劳动力市场如何应对COVID-19大流行期间的异常需求冲击。我们使用流动护士职位——医院用来填补临时人员需求的市场——来检验工人搬到需求冲击更大的地方的意愿。我们发现,在疫情期间,市场规模急剧扩大,特别是那些对COVID-19护理至关重要的专业。工作岗位数量的增长远远超过薪酬的增长,这表明护理市场边缘的劳动力供应相当有弹性。为了检验工人在不同地点之间流动的意愿,我们考察了同一天不同地点的工作,并发现了更具弹性的供应响应。我们的研究表明,这种供给响应的部分原因在于,当工资增加时,工人愿意走更远的路去找工作,这表明,当需求激增时,一个一体化的全国市场有助于重新分配工人。这意味着,如果全国需求同时飙升,市场可能更难迅速适应。

When Workers Travel: Nursing Supply During Covid-19 Surges
We study how short-term labor markets responded to an extraordinary demand shock during the COVID-19 pandemic. We use traveling nurse jobs - a market hospitals use to fill temporary staffing needs - to examine workers' willingness to move to places with larger demand shocks. We find a dramatic increase in market size during the pandemic, especially for those specialties central to COVID-19 care. The number of jobs increased far more than compensation, suggesting that labor supply to this fringe of the nursing market is quite elastic. To examine workers' willingness to move across different locations, we examine jobs in different locations on the same day, and find an even more elastic supply response. We show that part of this supply responsiveness comes from workers' willingness to travel longer distances for jobs when payment increases, suggesting that an integrated national market facilitates reallocating workers when demand surges. This implies that a simultaneous national demand spike might be harder for the market to accommodate rapidly.
