Business Location Decisions and Employment Dynamics in California

David Neumark and Jed Kolko

Much recent debate about the state’s economy has focused on the narrow issue of whether California businesses are moving to other states-taking jobs with them. In this report, PPIC researchers Jed Kolko and David Neumark examine the broader patterns of employment dynamics-the ways in which jobs and businesses move into, around, and out of the state— to provide a more accurate and comprehensive understanding of the California economy.
