1. Job matching in local labor markets<\/h2>\n

Local labor markets are not considered to be independent but spatially interdependent. Accounting for such spatial interdependence, I studied the matching of job seekers and vacancies in local labor markets.<\/p>\n

Higashi (2018) shows that job matching in a local region is affected by unemployment and vacancies in neighboring regions in addition to those in its own region. This spatial spillover effect suggests that due to inter-regional job searches, job seekers in the local region compete with their counterparts in neighboring regions (Figure 1). Furthermore, the Great East Japan Earthquake temporarily boosted the magnitude of spatial spillovers in job matching around the damaged areas.<\/p>\n

Higashi (2020a) shows that the Great East Japan Earthquake increased labor market tightness and deteriorated matching efficiencies not only in the directly damaged areas but also in adjacent areas.<\/p>\n

2. Job search and agglomeration effects<\/h2>\n

Higashi (2020b) examines the effects of industrial agglomeration on a non-working individual\u2019s decision to search for a job. This study focuses on the difference in the agglomeration effects across heterogenous individual attributes.
