Regional Labor Market Response to Macroeconomic Shocks: A Look at Great Britain, Japan and the United States

在这个项目中，PI计划研究区域劳动力市场， 日本、英国和美国及其对 宏观经济冲击。 他首先计划研究调整 应对冲击的真实的工资、失业率或移民率。 文化和制度因素的影响， 对劳动力市场行为的影响将通过以下方式减轻： 在同一个国家的不同地区进行比较。 第二 分析的一部分将是试图投射一些光在 造成这些反应模式差异的原因。 PI将 对区域性的原因进行一些初步的测试 通过研究工会，住房市场， 产业结构、教育或技能差异以及其他 因素 在分离出哪种假设似乎最 希望，他打算制定一个完整的建议，并测试一个 关于为什么区域市场可能在其 对这些冲击的反应。 调查人员计划将此与 工作到目前的研究效率工资和内部-外部 劳动力市场的模型已经被用来解释 总失业率和真实的工资变动。

In this project, the PI plans to examine regional labor markets in Japan, Great Britain and the United States and their response to macroeconomic shocks. He first plans to investigate adjustment of real wages, unemployment or migration rates in response to shocks. The effect of cultural and institutional factors that has an impact on labor market behavior will be mitigated by doing comparisons across regions within the same country. The second part of the analysis will be an attempt to cast some light on the causes of these differences in response patterns. The PI will conduct some preliminary tests for the causes of the regional differentials by examining the roles of unions, housing markets, industry structure, education or skill differentials and other factors. After isolating which hypothesis appear to be most promising, he intends to develop a full proposal and test a theoretical model about why regional markets may vary in their responses to these shocks. The investigator plans to link this work to current research on efficiency wages and insider-outsider models of the labor market which have been used to explain aggregate unemployment and real wage movements.
