Rural-to-urban migration, human capital, and agglomeration

Stark, Oded; Fan, C. Simon - 2007

A new general-equilibrium model that links together rural-to-urban migration, the externality effect of the average level of human capital, and agglomeration economies shows that in developing countries, unrestricted rural-to-urban migration reduces the average income of both rural and urban...
