The analytics of seasonal migration
Stark, Oded; Fan, C. Simon - 2006
A framework that yields different possible patterns of migration as optimal solutions to a simple utility maximization problem is presented and explored. It is shown that seasonal migration arises as an optimal endogenous response to a comparison of costs (of living and of separation) and...

A dynamic model of commutes
Rouwendal, Jan; Vlist, Arno J. van der - 2002
This paper studies the interaction between job mobility and housing mobility by considering the duration of commutes. Conventional models assume that the employrnent location has priority over the residentiallocation and that the latter is adapted to the former. This implies that the duration of...

High skilled mobility under uncertainty
Bisset, Jordan; Czarnitzki, Dirk; Doherr, Thorsten - 2023
Previous work suggests a general uncertainty surrounding the migration process acts as a barrier to outmigration. In this paper, we argue that this barrier is exacerbated when relative economic policy uncertainty is higher in the target country and mitigated when relatively higher in the origin...

Managing migration through conflicting policies : an option-theory perspective
Moretto, Michele; Vergalli, Sergio - 2009
Recent European legislation on immigration has revealed a particular paradox on migration policies. On the one hand, the trend of recent legislation points to the increasing closure of frontiers (OECD 1999, 2001,2004), trying to limit the immigrants' stock. On the other hand, there is an...

Compliance with the institutional wage in dualistic models
Martins, Ana Paula - 2011
This research extends simple two-sector models in order to inquire the impact of the extent of coverage or enforcement of minimum wage legislation in one of the sectors on the equilibrium outcome. Two versions of institutional wage avoidance are presented. They may be seen as representing...
