This paper explores the impact of undocumented as opposed to documented immigration in a model featuring search frictions and non-random hiring that is consistent with novel empirical evidence presented. In this framework, undocumented immigrants’ wages are the lowest of all workers due to...

Epidemiological models assume gravity-like interactions of individuals across space without microfoundations. We combine a simple epidemiological frame-work with a dynamic model of individual location choice. The model predicts that flows of people across space obey a structural gravity...

The extensive literature on university graduates' regional mobility highlights the importance of early mobility but is primarily descriptive. We contribute the identification of the effect of mobility upon high-school graduation on subsequent mobility across labour market regions. The data...
