The unemployment rate in France is roughly 6 percentage points higher for African immigrants than for natives. In the … US the unemployment rate is approximately 9 percentage points higher for blacks than for whites. Commute time data … we investigate the impact of spatial mismatch on the unemployment rate of ethnic groups using the matching model proposed …

The Mortensen-Pissarides model with unemployment benefits and taxes has been able to account for the variation in … unemployment rates across countries but does not explain why geographical mobility is very low in some countries (on average, three … times lower in Europe than in the U.S.). We build a model in which both unemployment and mobility rates are endogenous. Our …
