本文提出了一种新的方法来测量空间不匹配的影响，利用匹配的employee行政数据集成与个人特定的工作可及性措施，以及人口和邻里特征。我们关注的是一群求职者，他们有着明显的外生原因：在大规模裁员期间，低收入的工人与强大的劳动力依恋分离。我们的研究结果支持空间失配假说。我们发现，更好的工作可及性显着降低低收入失业工人的失业时间，特别是黑人，妇女和老年工人。
This paper presents a new approach to the measurement of the effects of spatial mismatch that takes advantage of matched employeremployee administrative data integrated with a person-specific job accessibility measure, as well as demographic and neighborhood characteristics. We focus on a group of job searchers for plausibly exogenous reasons: lower-income workers with strong labor force attachment separated during a mass layoff. Our results support the spatial mismatch hypothesis. We find that better job accessibility significantly decreases the duration of joblessness among lower-income displaced workers, especially for blacks, women, and older workers.
