Abstract
⺠Two candidates for low labor productivity are job and worker characteristics. ⺠We derive their relative importance based on a model of commuting. ⺠We estimate a spatial structural model of regional unemployment rates. ⺠The results indicate that East and West German skills are very similar. ⺠However, job characteristics are significantly less favorable in East Germany.
