TY - RPRT AU - Makarski, Krzysztof AU - Tyrowicz, Joanna TI - Preference for Redistribution during Structural Change with Labor Mobility Frictions PY - 2022/Sep/ PB - Institute of Labor Economics (IZA) CY - Bonn T2 - IZA Discussion Paper IS - 15613 UR - https://www.iza.org/index.php/publications/dp15613 AB - Thorough structural change occurs periodically across world economies.

Labor mobility frictions are instrumental in this mechanism. KW - redistribution KW - structural change KW - labor mobility frictions ER -
