Essays in applied microeconomics
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- This dissertation is a collection of three primarily empirical studies broadly concerned with how corporate decision making affects household labor market outcomes. In the first chapter, I study how business relocation affects the regional distribution of job creation within the United States, and I find that local economic booms on average lead to establishment and job outflows. The second chapter, coauthored with Bobak Moallemi and Ramana Ramakrishnan, studies the impact of firm human resource allocation decisions on the labor market value of workers. We find that online reports of promotions causally increase recruiter interest in workers. The third chapter, coauthored with Joshua Rauh, examines the impact of the 2012 California Proposition 30 income tax increase on the pre-tax income and migration decisions of high earning California residents. We find that high earners respond strongly to income taxation both along the intensive and extensive margins.
