这本书研究了城市经济学和劳动经济学之间的联系。本书的前两部分考察了城市劳动经济理论的不同模型：首先是城市寻找匹配模型，然后是城市效率工资。这些模型随后被用来分析城市犹太人区及其对劳动力市场上少数民族的影响。泽努教授首先为所谓的空间错配假说提供了不同的机制，该假说假定住房歧视引入了一个关键的摩擦因素，阻止少数族裔通过将住所搬到离工作更近的地方来改善就业机会。然后，他探索了社交网络，这往往会受到空间因素的影响，因为物理上离工作很近的员工可能会在社交上远离工作。基于这些模型，作者提出了不同的政策，旨在应对居住在种族隔离地区的少数民族经历的高失业率。
This book studies the links between urban economics and labor economics. Different models of urban labor economic theory are examined in the initial two parts of this book: first urban search-matching models and then urban efficiency wages. These models are then used to analyze urban ghettos and their consequences for ethnic minorities in the labor market. Professor Zenou first provides different mechanisms for the so-called spatial mismatch hypothesis, which postulates that housing discrimination introduces a key frictional factor that prevents minorities from improving access to job opportunities by relocating their residences closer to jobs. He then explores social networks, which tend to be affected by spatial factors, as workers who are physically close to jobs can be socially far away from them. Based on these models, the author offers different policies aiming at fighting high unemployment rates experienced by ethnic minorities residing in segregated areas.
