“…In a local market, the demand for housing depends on the level of amenities and the income of the residents, while the supply of housing is inelastic in the short-run. A decline in local wages shifts the demand for housing inwards which leads to a " See similar findings by DaVanzo (1978), Topel (1986), Barro and Sala-i-Martin (1991), Bartik (1991) and Borjas, Bronars and Trejo (1992).…”

“…However, as far as spatial adjustment of the labor market is concerned, the two mechanisms have essentially the same effects: workers are discouraged from looking for jobs in other regions because moving away from their present residence would involve significant losses. $ See Bartik (1991), Blanchard and Katz (1992) and Caplin et al (1997) for empirical estimates.…”

“…We use two approaches to measure local demand shocks. The first draws on a method developed by Bartik (1991), and used in such studies as Bound and Holzer (2000) and Wozniak (2010). As a means to produce measures of local demand that are unrelated to shifts in local labor supply, the measure applies industry-specific national employment growth rates to local industry employment shares.…”

Theory and evidence suggest that people born in different countries complement each other in the labor market. Immigrant diversity could augment productivity by enabling the combination of different skills, ideas and perspectives, resulting in greater productivity. Using matched employer-employee data for the USA, this paper evaluates this claim, and makes empirical and conceptual contributions to prior work. It addresses the potential bias from unobserved heterogeneity among individuals, work establishments and cities. The paper also identifies diversity impacts at both city and workplace scales, and considers how relationships vary across different segments of the labor market. Findings suggest that urban immigrant diversity produces positive and nontrivial spillovers for U.S. workers. This social return represents a distinct channel through which immigration may generate broad-based economic benefits.

“…The measure was calculated at the county level using four-digit NAICs data by Dorfman et al (2011) and aggregated to the state level. 5 The industry mix measure can be used to capture exogenous employment shifts because beginning-period area employment shares and national industry growth rates are used in the calculation (Bartik, 1991). We also include variables reflecting the educational attainment shares of the adult population 25 years and older from the 2000 Census of Housing and Population: at least a bachelor's degree, only an associates college degree, and only a high school degree.…”

Using the Synthetic Control Method (SCM) and a novel method for measuring changes in educational attainment we examine the link between educational attainment and shale oil and gas extraction for the states of Montana, North Dakota, and West Virginia. The three states examined are economically-small, relatively more rural, and have high levels of shale oil and gas reserves. They also are varied in that West Virginia is intensive in shale gas extraction, while the other two are intensive in shale oil extraction. We find significant reductions in high school and college attainment among all three states' initial residents because of the shale booms.JEL Classification: Q4, R1, R2
