Abstract: Young adults, ages 25 to 35, who live in the same neighborhoods as their parents experience stronger earnings recoveries after a job displacement than those who live farther away. This result is driven by smaller on-impact wage reductions and sharper recoveries in both hours and wages. We show that geographic mobility, different job search durations, housing transfers, and ex-ante differences between individuals are unlikely explanations. Our fi ndings are consistent with a framework in which some individuals living near their parents face a better wage-offer distribution, though we fi nd no direct evidence of parental network effects.
