Job search, locus of control, and internal migration
Caliendo, Marco; Cobb-Clark, Deborah A.; Hennecke, Juliane - 2015
Internal migration can substantially improve labor market efficiency. Consequently, policy is often targeted towards reducing the barriers workers face in moving to new labor markets. In this paper we explicitly model internal migration as the result of a job search process and demonstrate that...

Economic shocks and internal migration
Monras, Joan - 2015
Previous literature shows that internal migration rates are strongly procyclical. This would seem to imply that geographic relocation does not help mitigate negative local economic shocks during recessions. This paper shows that this is not the case. I document that net in-migration rates...

Why is the Roy-Borjas model unable to predict international migrant selection on education? : evidence from urban and rural Mexico
Leopold, Stefan; Ruhose, Jens; Wiederhold, Simon - 2023
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...

The (self-)selection of international migrants reconsidered : theory and new evidence
Brücker, Herbert (contributor);  … - 2006
This paper reconsiders the (self-)selection of international migrants. In an extended Roy-model we analyse the factors which affect the selection bias of migrants. In particular, we find that migrants need not necessarily be (un-)favourably self-selected if the inequality of earnings is higher...

Return versus onward migration : go back or move on?
Bijwaard, Govert; Wahba, Jackline - 2022
This paper examines the impact of unemployment on out-migration by distinguishing between return and onward migration and controlling for total earnings. We use Timing-of-Events models and control for the endogeneity of total earnings, unemployment and out-migration using administrative data...

It's the way people move! : labour migration as an adjustment device in Russia
Pastore, Francesco; Semerikova, Elena - 2020
This paper aims to assess the role of migration as an adjustment mechanism device to favor convergence across states and regions of Russia. In contrast to previous studies, we use variations in the population of a region as a proxy of its net migration rate and apply spatial econometric...
