SMU SOE Seminar (March 10, 2023): Spatial Frictions in the Market for Talent

TOPIC:

SPATIAL FRICTIONS IN THE MARKET FOR TALENT
|
ABSTRACT
We document new stylized facts for migration patterns of high-skilled, highly specialized workers. Using data on careers on the universe of professional football players, we show spatial, cultural, and legal frictions impede positive assortative matching. We then set up a matching model that yields a gravity equation at the worker-firm-level. Estimating and quantifying the model supports the notion of the strong impact of gravity frictions on worker-firm matching. Using the model’s structure we can simulate hypothetical allocations of players to firms with counterfactual frictions.
