The effect of migration on income convergence : meta-analytic evidence
Ozgen, Ceren; Poot, Jacques; Nijkamp, Peter - 2009
Using meta-analytical techniques, we focus on 11 studies that explicitly measure the effect of a net migration variable in neoclassical convergence models and derive 57 comparable effect sizes. The data suggest that an increase in the net migration rate of one percentage point increases on...

Labor Migration, Human Capital Agglomeration and Regional Development in China
Fu, Yuming - 2011
We estimate a skill-based directional migration model to assess the effects of regional human capital agglomeration on labor migration in China. Upon accounting for regional differentials in skill-based compensation, cost-of-living, amenities, and the like, model estimates indicate the...

Rattsø, Jørn; Stokke, Hildegunn Ekroll - 2010
Empirical evidence about income convergence among regions and countries is inconclusive and it is necessary to clarify the economic and institutional conditions for convergence. We investigate movements in the income distribution among regions in an integrated market with high mobility of labor,...

Does population sorting through internal migration increase healthcare costs and needs in peripheral regions?
Kulshreshtha, Shobhit; Salm, Martin; Wübker, Ansgar - 2022
Large regional disparities in health and healthcare costs prevail in many countries, but our understanding of the underlying causes is still limited. This study shows for the case of the Netherlands that population sorting through internal migration can explain a substantial share, around 28%,...

What old stagers could teach us : examining age complementarities in regional innovation systems
Arntz, Melanie; Gregory, Terry - 2014
Concerns have been raised that demographic ageing may weaken the competitiveness of knowledge-based economies and increase regional disparities. The age-creativity link is however far from clear at the aggregate level. Contributing to this debate, we estimate the causal effect of the workforce...
