Abstract
This paper studies how demographics affect aggregate labor market power, the urban wage
premium and the spatial concentration of population.
I develop a quantitative spatial model
in which labor market competitiveness depends on the demographic composition of the local
workforce.
If these factors differ across workers, labor market power has a role to
play in explaining wage inequality.
This paper contributes to the literature on differences in labor market power by analyzing a
new dimension of heterogeneity: demographics.
Since older workers are less mobile in terms of
switching workplaces, firms have more labor market power over older workers.
I start by estimating labor market power by measuring the sensitivity of worker turnover to
the wage paid.
I find a strong
role of demographics in determining the degree of labor market power enjoyed by firms.
Next, I provide evidence of the importance of differences in labor market power for spatial
wage inequality.
To explore the consequences of labor market sorting, I build a spatial general equilibrium
model in which labor market competitiveness depends on the demographic composition of the

local workforce.
If these factors differ across workers, labor market power has a role to
play in explaining wage inequality.
In
the model, geographic sorting by age matters and leads to higher labor market power in rural
areas, which implies an urban wage premium that is 4% larger than with uniform labor supply
elasticities.
I follow Manning (2013) and estimate labor market power by measuring the sensitivity of worker
turnover to the wage paid.
Bachmann et al., 2021; Ahlfeldt et al., 2022a; Berger et al.,
2022) that nest a monopsonistic labor market in a spatial general equilibrium model (Redding
and Rossi-Hansberg, 2017).
As firms have more labor market power
over older workers, they face an upward-sloping labor supply curve that is less elastic in regions
with an older workforce.
Firms choose in which labor market to operate in the sense that there is free
entry at fixed costs into all locations.
How are differences in labor market competitiveness across space sustained in spatial equilibrium?
I use the model to quantify the importance of heterogeneity
in labor market power for the urban wage premium and the spatial concentration of population.
My work is complementary to but quite different
from this paper since I argue that population aging increases labor market power rather than
product market power.
By analyzing the effects of a changing age composition of the workforce in the context
of labor market power, I relate to literature on the labor market effects of population aging.

after controlling for age, differences in labor market power between East and West Germany
vanish.
They conclude that higher
concentration is associated with higher labor market power (as in the model of Jarosch et al.,
forthcoming).
I offer an alternative explanation why labor market power differs across regions:
Since denser regions have a younger workforce, workers are more mobile in terms of switching
jobs which implies lower labor market power of firms.
In this case, I infer a
high labor supply elasticity and low labor market power of firms.
I contribute to this growing debate by
quantifying differences in labor market power across worker groups and their effects on regional
inequality.
While the model shows how demographics affect labor market power, the urban wage premium and agglomeration, one fundamental question remains open for future research: What
are the policy implications of (differences in) labor market power?

Both self-doubt and indifference to what other people think is central to being truly humble.

Key Points:

Both self-doubt and indifference to what other people think is central to being truly humble.
A self-doubt account of humility
The paradox stems from the sense that true humility is incompatible with a belief in one’s own humility.
The philosopher Julia Driver argues that humility requires an underestimation of one’s own good qualities.
To be humble, you need to examine what is really valuable: to know what it is that you value most.

US Health Officials Urge Vaccination Against Flu, COVID-19, and RSV This Fall and Winter

Retrieved on:

torsdag, september 28, 2023

BETHESDA, Md., Sept. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- As the US braces for the upcoming fall and winter virus season, new survey data released today by the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases (NFID) show that despite the potential severity, only 22% of US adults are worried about themselves or someone in their family getting infected with influenza (flu), with similar low levels of concern about COVID-19 (23%) and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) (19%) infection. The data also show that although nearly two-thirds of US adults (65%) agree that vaccination is the best preventive measure against flu-related hospitalizations and deaths, 43% of US adults do not plan to or are unsure if they will get vaccinated against flu. Although updated COVID-19 vaccines are recommended, only 40% plan to get vaccinated against COVID-19, and among adults age 60 years and older, only 40% plan to get vaccinated against RSV.

Key Points:

We must use all available tools to protect those most at risk, including infants and young children, pregnant people, older adults, and those with chronic health conditions."
"The NFID data—which show complacency around vaccination against flu, COVID-19, RSV, and pneumococcal disease—are concerning," said NFID President Patricia (Patsy) A. Stinchfield, RN, MS, CPNP.
"Even in cases when vaccination does not prevent infection entirely, getting vaccinated can help protect against serious complications, including hospitalization and death."
"Flu season is a great time to ask about pneumococcal vaccination because pneumococcal disease can be a serious complication of flu."
