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...

We compare a set of econometric studies that measure the effect of net internal migration in neoclassical models of long-run real income convergence and derive 67 comparable effect sizes. The precision-weighted estimate of beta convergence is about 2.7%. An increase in the net migration rate of...

The article discusses an important issue of Russian integration into the global network cooperation in innovation. The first part of the study addresses differences in types of knowledge flows between the country of the firm-innovator and the host country. Three main directions of globalization...

Localized hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”) booms in the United States present a unique opportunity to explore migration responses to positive labor demand shocks in the current context of low geographic mobility. Using data from 1999 to 2013, I show that fracking led to large increases in...

We propose an innovative methodology to measure inequality between cities. If an even distribution of amenities across cities is assumed to increase the average well-being in a given country, inequality between cities can be evaluated through a multidimensional index of the Atkinson (1970) type....

This paper finds strong and robust evidence of convergence of labour productivity in agriculture across all US states and 11 EU countries during 1970-1992. Moreover, off-farm migration has a positive effect on the speed of convergence, especially in the EU. Holding the off-farm migration rate...
