Project Description
Summary:
View help for Summary
From 1980 to 2000, the rise in the US college/high school graduate
wage gap coincided with increased geographic sorting as college
graduates concentrated in high wage, high rent cities. This paper
estimates a structural spatial equilibrium model to determine causes
and welfare consequences of this increased skill sorting. While local
labor demand changes fundamentally caused the increased skill
sorting, it was further fueled by endogenous increases in amenities
within higher skill cities. Changes in cities' wages, rents, and
endogenous amenities increased inequality between high school
and college graduates by more than suggested by the increase in the
college wage gap alone. (JEL D31, I26, J24, J31, J61, R23)
