This doctoral dissertation research project will explore social structural influences on the supply of labor to occupations. Current research in the field of labor economics pays little explicit attention to the effect of social networks on the supply of labor to occupations. Building upon the first PI's prior work on the ecological theory of competition of social groups for members, the present theory argues that groups inhabit bounded regions of a sociodemographic phase space, and that competition is created by multiple groups overlapping in this space. A group's position in sociodemographic space is determined by the aggregate sociodemographic characteristics of its members. The project will explore the implications of this theory with respect to the supply of labor to occupations. It will model a system of occupations in the U.S., using data taken from the Current Population Survey Annual Demographic Files (1988-1998).

本博士论文研究项目将探讨社会结构对劳动力供给的影响。当前劳动经济学领域的研究很少明确关注社交网络对职业劳动力供给的影响。建立在第一PI的先前工作的生态理论的竞争的社会群体的成员，本理论认为，群体居住在有界区域的社会人口相空间，竞争是由多个群体重叠在这个空间。一个群体在社会人口空间中的地位取决于其成员的总体社会人口特征。该项目将探讨这一理论对职业劳动力供给的影响。它将模拟美国的职业体系，使用的数据来自当前人口调查年度人口档案（1988-1998）。
