Geographic Mobility Over the Life-cycle

When mobility between locations is frictional, a person’s economic well-being is partially determined by her place of birth. Using a life cycle model of mobility, we find that search frictions are the main impairment to the mobility of young people in Spain, and these frictions are particularly stro...
