中文摘要
摘要 我们研究了支持失业劳动者地理流动的财政激励对其求职行为和劳动力市场结果的因果效应。利用德国就业机构辖区行政边界两侧流动项目推广力度的地区差异，我们发现——正如政策意图——推广流动促使求职者扩大搜索半径，申请并接受较远地区的工作。与此同时，本地求职活动减少，对再就业和收入产生不利影响。对潜在机制的详细分析表明，空间搜索摩擦是导致这些非预期不利劳动力市场效应的驱动因素。
Abstract
Abstract We investigate the causal effects of financial incentives supporting geographical mobility among unemployed workers on their job search behavior and labor market outcomes. Exploiting regional variation in the promotion of mobility programs along administrative borders of German employment agency districts, we show that promoting mobility—as intended—causes job seekers to increase their search radius, apply for, and accept distant jobs. At the same time, local job search is reduced with adverse consequences for reemployment and earnings. A detailed analysis of the underlying mechanisms suggests spatial search frictions as the driver of the unintended adverse labor market effects.
