Moving for Job Reasons

چکیده
In any economy, people are constantly moving around to take new jobs. This process is important to the efficiency of a nation. Yet little is known about it. The paper uses some of the first British panel data to examine the microeconomic determinants of residential mobility for job reasons. Two conclusions stand out. First, there is a marked asymmetry between males and females. When women are in relationships, they are less mobile than men for own job reasons, and more mobile for partner’s job reasons. The most mobile males are those living with a partner who does not work. Second, private rental housing seems to help to foster a more mobile workforce. These effects are robust to controls for both person fixed-effects and potential endogeneity. The paper also studies the effects of IQ, education, and other personal characteristics.
