Poot, Jacques; Alimi, Omoniyi; Cameron, Michael; Maré, … - 2016
For at least half a century, and building on observations first made a century earlier, the gravity model has been the most commonly‐used paradigm for understanding gross migration flows between regions. This model owes its success to, firstly, its intuitive consistency with migration...

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...

Strong versus weak ties in migration
Giulietti, Corrado; Wahba, Jackline; Zenou, Yves - 2014
This paper studies the role of strong versus weak ties in the rural-to-urban migration decision in China. We first develop a network model that puts forward the different roles of weak and strong ties in helping workers to migrate to the city. We then use a unique longitudinal data that allows...

Are ghettos good or bad? : evidence from US internal migration
Zhang, Junfu; Liang, Zheng - 2014
It is difficult to determine whether ghettos are good or bad, partly because racial segregation may have some effects that are unobservable. To overcome this challenge, we present a migration choice model that allows for estimating the overall effects of racial segregation. The key idea...

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...

Aging and migration in a transition economy : the case of China
Bodvarsson, Örn B.; Hou, Jack W.; Shen, Kailing - 2014
Post-reform China has been experiencing two major demographic changes, an extraordinary amount of internal migration and an aging population. We present a general migration model which captures the idea that older migrants have shorter durations in the destination but possibly larger general...

We review developments in research on within-country migration, focusing on internal migration in the U.S. We begin by describing approaches to modelling individuals' migration decisions and equilibrium outcomes across local areas. Next, we summarize evidence regarding the impact of migration on...
