托达罗悖论和城市地区创造就业的影响将在我们的空间模型中重新审视，在该模型中，劳动力市场的半径由工人的理性选择内生地决定。工人的旅行费用在两种不同类型的应对措施之间的选择中起着至关重要的作用，这两种反应是移民还是通勤。通过考虑旅行成本，我们发现托达罗悖论不仅适用于发展中国家，也适用于发达国家。在发达国家，城市地区的就业创造可能会导致城市失业率的矛盾增加，因为旅行的低边际成本将显著增加城市劳动力市场的半径，并在没有移民的情况下创造新的劳动力供应。
The Todaro paradox and the effects of job creation in urban areas will be re‐examined in our spatial model in which the radius of the labor market is endogenously determined by the rational choices of workers. The travel cost of workers plays a crucial role in the choice between two different types of response, migration or commuting. By considering travel costs, we find that the Todaro paradox can be applied to developed, as well as developing, countries. Job creation in urban areas can produce a paradoxical increase in urban unemployment in developed countries, because the low marginal cost of travel will significantly increase the radius of the urban labor market and create new labor supply without migration.
