How Important is Access to Jobs? Old Question - Improved Answer (2010, unknown): “Despite an abundant empirical literature, theoretical models have emerged only recently, which probably explains why the mechanisms of spatial mismatch has long remained unclear and not properly tested (Gobillon et al., 2005).”
Job Displacement and the Duration of Joblessness: The Role of Spatial Mismatch (2017, unknown): “Gobillon et al. (2007) provide a detailed discussion of the mechanisms of spatial mismatch. They posited that the mechanisms have remained unclear and thus not properly tested. They reviewed theoretical models, compared their predictions to empirical results, and suggested mechanisms deserving furth”
Civil rights guidance and equity analysis methods for regional transportation plans: a critical review of literature and practice (2013, background): “The ultimate result is generally inferior transportation outcomes and a higher incidence of poverty and unemployment for workers of color in central city areas (Gobillon et al., 2007).”
Place-based tax exemptions and displacement effects: An evaluation of the Zones Franches Urbaines program☆ (2013, background): “See Gobillon et al. (2007) for a review about spatial mismatch.”
Public Housing and Unemployment: Skills and Spatial Mismatch in Postindustrial Hong Kong (2011, unknown): “…to other characteristics of residential location that can affect employment, such as discrimination on the part of employers against residents of certain neighborhoods, and limitations in learning of job opportunities through social networks (Granovetter 1995; Gobillon, Selod, and Zenou, 2007).”
Residential Segregation and Unemployment: The Case of Brussels (2008, background): “General empirical tests confirm that the disconnection between places of residence and job locations exacerbates unemployment (see Weinberg, 2004, and Martin, 2004), but few of the detailed mechanisms have been specifically tested (see Gobillon et al., 2007, for more details on this issue).”
