The analytics of seasonal migration

Oded Stark; C. Simon Fan

A framework that yields different possible patterns of migration as optimal solutions to a simple utility maximization problem is presented and explored. It is shown that seasonal migration arises as an optimal endogenous response to a comparison of costs (of living and of separation) and returns (to work) over a set of three alternative options, even if a year-long migration is feasible. -- Seasonal migration ; Optimal types of migration ; Cost of living differential ; Cost of separation
