Like an Ink Blot on Paper : Testing the Diffusion Hypothesis of Mass Migration, Italy 1876-1920

Spitzer, Yannay; Zimran, Ariell - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023

Why were the poorer countries of the European periphery latecomers to the Age of Mass Migration? We test the diffusion hypothesis, which argues that mass emigration was delayed because it was primarily governed by a gradual process of spatial diffusion of migration networks. We propose a model...
