This paper examines the impact of temperature changes on rural-urban migration using a 56km×56km grid cell level … rural-urban migration in poor countries and increase such migration in middle-income countries. These asymmetric migration … determine rural-to-urban migration flows. We also confirm these temperature effects using country-level observations constructed …

Allowing migration activity as an integral part of demographic transition and economic development, we establish a … migration equilibrium framework with rural agents heterogeneous in skills and fertility preferences. We then establish and … characterize a mixed migration equilibrium where high-skilled rural agents with low fertility preferences always migrate to cities …

This paper studies the welfare effects of encouraging rural-urban migration in the developing world. To do so, we build … a dynamic incomplete-markets model of migration in which heterogenous agents face seasonal income fluctuations …, stochastic income shocks, and disutility of migration that depends on past migration experience.
