项目摘要
AbstractThere is significant and persistent heterogeneity in unemployment rates and labor earnings across labor markets in the US, contributing to overall economic inequality. Developments since the 1990s indicate that migration has declined even as job postings through websites expanded access to and awareness of employment opportunities beyond a worker’s location of origin. This project explores the geographic aspects of online job postings by exploring access to job opportunities for job seekers who are local and non-local. The research investigates employer preference for job applicants by considering whether applicants reside close by the job site or farther away. The project conducts a correspondence experiment that randomly assigns the resumes of fictitious candidates with different geographical locations to employers who are actively seeking employees. The project examines employer callback rates by considering the distance of candidates from job locations to understand differential employer preference for employees’ location of origin. The project further constructs a descriptive and mathematical theory for why employers may prefer local workers over non-local workers.Residents of depressed local labor markets often incur welfare costs associated with remaining in these areas, and migration in favor of expected income gains may serve as an important mechanism for equalization across regions. This research project investigates labor market opportunities in relation to the geographic origin of job applicants. The project employs a resume audit study to understand employers’ hiring preferences in relation to spatial factors by randomly assigning fictitious applicants to job postings, by reflecting varying locations of residence, level of education, and gender of applicants. The project develops a theoretical model that rationalizes potential mechanisms for why employers engage in place-based discrimination and prefer local applicants. By embedding these mechanisms in the resume audit research design, the project explores heterogeneous effects of applicant location on employer hiring preferences.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
摘要美国劳动力市场的失业率和劳动力收入存在显著而持久的异质性,导致了整体经济的不平等。自1990年代以来的发展情况表明,尽管通过网站发布的招聘信息扩大了工人在原籍地以外获得就业机会的机会和对就业机会的认识,但移徙人数已经减少。 该项目通过探索本地和非本地求职者获得工作机会的途径,探讨网上职位发布的地理方面。这项研究调查了雇主对求职者的偏好,考虑求职者是住在工作地点附近还是更远。该项目进行了一项对应实验,将不同地理位置的虚拟候选人的简历随机分配给积极寻找员工的雇主。该项目通过考虑候选人与工作地点的距离来审查雇主的回拨率,以了解雇主对雇员原籍地的不同偏好。该项目进一步构建了一个描述性和数学理论,解释为什么雇主可能更喜欢本地工人而不是非本地工人。当地劳动力市场不景气的居民往往会因留在这些地区而产生福利成本,而有利于预期收入增长的移民可能是实现地区间平等的重要机制。该研究项目调查了与求职者的地理来源有关的劳动力市场机会。该项目采用了简历审计研究,通过随机分配虚拟申请人的职位空缺,反映不同的居住地点,教育水平和性别的申请人,了解雇主的招聘偏好与空间因素。该项目开发了一个理论模型,合理解释了为什么雇主从事基于地点的歧视和更喜欢当地申请人的潜在机制。通过将这些机制嵌入到简历审核研究设计中,该项目探讨了申请人所在地对雇主招聘偏好的异质性影响。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命,并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估,被认为值得支持。
