讲座题目：Beyond Lost Earnings: Job Displacement and the Cost of Commuting

讲座内容：We examine changes in workers' commuting behavior after job displacement and its contribution to the total cost of job loss. Combining German employee-employer data with geo-coordinates of workers' residences and workplaces, we show that displaced workers commute longer distances to subsequent jobs by up to 23.1 percent (3.38 kilometers) over the next 10 years. Estimating an on-the-job search model with heterogeneous firms and commuting distances, we find an average commuting cost for German workers of 1.4 euros per kilometer or 20.2 euros per day. Hence, longer commutes exacerbate the total cost of job displacement by one-fifth of the wage losses.
