The (Structural) Gravity of Epidemics
Cuñat, Alejandro; Zymek, Robert - 2020
Epidemiological models assume gravity-like interactions of individuals across space without microfoundations. We … of people across space obey a structural gravity equation. By means of an application to data from Great Britain we show … that our structural-gravity framework: provides a rationale for quarantines; offers a clear mapping from observed geography …

Returns to regional migration : causal effect or selection on wage growth?
Kratz, Fabian; Brüderl, Josef - 2012
Human capital theory predicts pecuniary returns to regional migration, but also positive self-selection of migrants. Therefore, when estimating the causal effect of migration one has to take care of potential self-selection. Several authors recommend using fixed effects models thereby...

Do the Best Go West? An Analysis of the Self-Selection of Employed East-West Migrants in Germany
Brücker, Herbert; Trübswetter, Parvati - 2021
Since the inequality of earnings in East Germany has approached West German levels in the late 1990s, the standard Roy model predicts that a positive selection bias of East-West migrants should disappear. Using a switching regression model and data from the IAB employment sample, we find however...

A new career in a new town : job search methods and regional mobility of unemployed workers
Morescalchi, Andrea - 2016
This paper investigates the spatial connotations of job search methods of unemployed people, and in particular whether search methods lead to local vis-à-vis non-local jobs. The data set used is the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS), a longitudinal survey collecting yearly interviews for...

Fast locations and slowing labor mobility
Coate, Patrick; Mangum, Kyle - 2019
Declining internal migration in the United States is driven by increasing home attachment in locations with initially high rates of population turnover. These 'fast' locations were the population growth destinations of the 20th century, where home attachments were low, but have increased as...
