哈佛教授Alesina在新论文“Family Values and theRegulation of Labor”中发现：越是恋家不远走高飞的人，收入平均更低、失业率更高。远走高飞者付出的家庭感情代价高些但收入也高。

Abstract:      Flexible labor markets requiresgeographically mobile workers to be efficient. Otherwise, firms can takeadvantage of the immobility of workers and extract monopsony rents. In cultureswith strong family ties, moving away from home is costly. Thus, individualswith strong family ties rationally choose regulated labor markets to avoidmoving and limiting the monopsony power of firms, even though regulationgenerates lower employment and income. Empirically, we do find that individualswho inherit stronger family ties are less mobile, have lower wages, are lessoften employed and support more stringent labor market regulations. There arealso positive cross-country correlations between the strength of family tiesand labor market rigidities. Finally, we find positive correlations between labormarket rigidities at the beginning of the twenty first century and familyvalues prevailing before World War II, which suggests that labor marketregulations have deep cultural roots.
