Abstract

This paper develops a general equilibrium life-cycle model of spatial job search across heterogeneous local labor markets in the presence of search frictions. This model enables us to disentangle the various sources (such as moving costs, search frictions, spatial search frictions, age) that contribute to determining geographic mobility rates that are empirically low. We estimate our model structurally using French administrative individual-level transition data.
