The authors study the distributional consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on
employment, both during the onset of the pandemic and over subsequent months. Using …

We develop a dynamic trade model with spatially distinct labor markets facing varying
exposure to international trade. The model captures the role of labor mobility frictions, goods …

We theorize how an ideological imprint—ideology formed through past events—serves as
an information filter that persistently affects individuals' decision making and how …

The welfare effects of trade shocks turn on the nature and magnitude of the costs workers
face in moving between sectors. Using an Euler-type equilibrium condition derived from a …

In this article we argue that wage inequality and occupational mobility are intimately related.
We are motivated by our empirical findings that human capital is occupation specific and that …

How do firms set wages across space? Using job-level vacancy data and a survey of HR
managers, we show that 40-50% of a job's posted wages are identical across locations …

We propose a new methodology to measure worker mobility across occupations and jobs in
the US, building on the limited longitudinal dimension of monthly CPS data. For the period …

We use matched individual-level CPS data to study the decline in middle-wage routine
occupations during the last 40 years, and determine how the associated labor market flows …

We develop a dynamic labor search model where production and consumption take place in
spatially distinct labor markets with varying exposure to domestic and international trade …

Distance and direction measures are constructed and used to contrast occupational mobility
following involuntary job displacement and total occupational mobility. Displacement …
