By Yves Zenou
The purpose of this e-book is to check the hyperlinks among city economics and hard work economics. varied versions of city hard work financial concept are tested within the preliminary components of this publication: first city search-matching types (Part 1) after which city potency wages (Part 2). partially three, we practice those versions to research city ghettos and their outcomes for ethnic minorities within the hard work industry. Professor Zenou first offers diverse mechanisms for the so-called spatial mismatch speculation, which postulates that housing discrimination introduces a key frictional issue that forestalls minorities from bettering entry to task possibilities by way of moving their apartments towards jobs. He then explores social networks, which are usually tormented by spatial components, as staff who're bodily with reference to jobs should be socially far-off from them. according to those versions, the writer deals diversified rules aiming at combating excessive unemployment charges skilled through ethnic minorities living in segregated parts.

2. 62) where wkL , uk , θ k will be determined at the labor market equilibrium k. 63) where x k is the average location of the unemployed in equilibrium k. It is easily verified that x 1 = N u1 /2 and x 2 = N 1 − u2 /2 . , s 1 > s 2 . This result is not surprising. Indeed, in the integrated city (Equilibrium 1), the unemployed reside closer to the CBD than in the segregated city (Equilibrium 2) and thus, the rate at which they leave unemployment is on average higher. 2. Steady-State Equilibrium We can now close the model as before.
We now investigate the issue of the optimality of the decentralized equilibrium within each land market equilibrium. In our present model, we have exactly the same externalities (intra- and inter-group externalities) as in the previous section. 44) still hold. 4. Endogenous Search Intensity and Housing Consumption So far, we have assumed that search intensity was either exogenous or depending on distance to jobs. In the present section, following Smith and Zenou (2003a), we would like to endogenously derive the search behavior of workers and show under which condition their search intensity negatively depends on distance to jobs.
For an unemployed worker at x, we have the following budget constraint: h U R(x) + s τ x + zU = wU . 72) yields the following land demand for employed workers at x: h L (x) = wL − τ x α · . 73) yields the following land demand for unemployed workers at x: h U (x) = wU − s τ x α · . 77) for each unemployed worker at x, where in this case s is now included as a relevant choice variable. 77), respectively. 79), we obtain: I L − IU (s , x) = L (x) − U (s , x) > 0. 80) Since there are no relocation costs, at any urban equilibrium it must be that r I L = r I L and r IU (s , x) = r I U .
