Why Is the Roy-Borjas model unable to predict international migrant selection on education? : evidence from urban and rural mexico

The Roy-Borjas model predicts that international migrants are less educated than nonmigrants because the returns to education are generally higher in developing (migrant-sending) than in developed (migrant-receiving) countries. However, empirical evidence often shows the opposite. Using the case...
