The mechanisms of agglomeration: Evidence from the effect of inter-industry relations on the location of new firms (2011, background): “Costa and Khan (2000) and Andersson et al (2007) have shown that employee-employer matches are better in densely populated areas.”
Marshallian Labour Market Pooling: Evidence From Italy (2013, background): “With regard to matching, Andersson et al. (2007) find evidence of stronger positive assortative matching in larger markets, while Di Addario (2011), using Italian data, finds a greater rate of transitions from unemployment to employment.”
Skills in the city (2009, background): “Skills also influence the matching of workers to jobs (e.g., Andersson et al., 2007) and turnover (e.g., Fallick et al., 2006). jobs.”
The Empirics of Agglomeration Economies (2014, unknown): “Andersson et al. (2007) use matched worker-firm panel data on California and Florida to estimate a wage equation involving worker and firm fixed effects. They then compute for each county the correlation across firms between the firm fixed effect and the average worker fixed effect within the firm. ”
