Regionale Mobilität am Arbeitsmarkt. Individuelle, betriebliche und wirtschaftsstrukturelle Determinanten von Mobilität und Einkommen

Place of study, field of study and labour-market region: What matters for wage differences among higher-education graduates?

“…Therefore, it is not only important where students study and which subject, but also where they work as graduates. In this respect, mobility behaviour in the labour market has already gained considerable attention (see Ganesch et al 2019 ian graduates). For the question at hand, it is crucial whether graduates' mobility behaviour and the wage levels at their destination workplaces are connected to the respective higher-education institution.…”

“…Thus, wage differences between higher-education institutions can be attributed in great part, but not completely, to the fact that they offer different fields of study (or offer them in different compositions). Simultaneously, regional wage authors' calculations 13 Further results for the relationship of regional labour market conditions and mobility behaviour can be found in Buch et al (2017) or Ganesch et al (2019). 14 There is also related research, particularly on links between higher-education institutions and regional development (see, for example, Peer and Penker 2016).…”

“…The problem of defining the right spatial scope is also well known as the "modifiable areal unit problem" in spatial analyses (Hillmert et al 2017;Madelin et al 2009). Especially if wage differences are of interest, administrative regions can be too broad, and more narrow regional classifications such as planning regions, labour-market regions or even counties can be more suitable (see, for example, Ganesch et al 2019). Hence, a comparison of different spatial operationalisations is an interesting task for further research.…”

Does weekend commuting really pay off? A panel analysis with German data

“…As further variables, we use full‐time work experience and firm tenure to control for wage changes due to time within the labour market and by seniority (e.g. Ganesch et al, 2019; Yankow, 2003). Additionally, we take into account years of education to control for wage increases due to changes in the educational level 5 .…”

“…Studies on interregional workplace mobility (i.e. the acceptance of a spatially distant job) show that these are positively related to wage shifts (Germany: Ganesch et al, 2019; Lehmer & Ludsteck, 2011; Reichelt & Abraham, 2015; the Netherlands: van Ham, 2001). Furthermore, several studies have focused on the impact of (work‐related) interregional migration on income and found a positive association (Germany: Kratz & Brüderl, 2013; Schulz, 2009; Brücker & Trübswetter, 2004; the United States: Borjas et al, 1992; Sweden: Korpi et al, 2011; Canada: Brown & Newbold, 2012).…”
