Modeling inter-regional patient mobility : does distance go far enough?

Irlacher, Michael; Pennerstorfer, Dieter; Renner, … - 2021

This paper estimates a theory-guided gravity equation of regional patient flows. In our model, a patient’s choice to consult a physician in a particular region depends on a measure of spatial accessibility that accounts for the exact locations of both patients and physicians. Introducing this...

Berlin calling - internal migration in Germany

Bauer, Thomas K.; Rulff, Christian; Tamminga, Michael M. - 2019

This paper analyzes the determinants of internal migration in Germany. Using data on the NUTS-3 level for different age groups and Pseudo-Poisson Maximum Likelihood (PPML) gravity models, the empirical analysis focuses on the relevant push and pull factors of internal migration over the life...

Gravity model as the tool for internal migration analysis in Poland in 2004-2010

Pietrzak, Michał Bernard; Wilk, Justyna; Matusik, … - 2013

Population migration is a long-lasting process affected by many factors. The analysis of its effects is a typical research approach to its interpretation. The object of the paper is to investigate migration phenomenon by means of gravity model application. It helps to explain variations in the...

A gravity model of migration between ENC and EU

Ramos, Raúl; Suriñach Caralt, Jordi - 2013

Due to ageing population and low birth rates, the European Union (EU) will need to import foreign labour in the next decades. In this context, the EU neighbouring countries (ENC) are the main countries of origin and transit of legal and illegal migration towards Europe. Their economic, cultural...

Ranking German regions using interregional migration : what does internal migration tells us about regional well-being?

Wirth, Benjamin - 2013 - (Preliminary draft), this version: 21st June 2013

This research project ranks German regions with help of interregional migration data instead of gross domestic product, household incomes, unemployment or quality of life estimates. Therefore we estimate regional utility differentials for German states and planning regions following the approach...

Ethnic drift and white flight : a gravity model of neighborhood formation

Bakens, Jessie; Florax, Raymond J. G. M.; Mulder, Peter - 2016

Ethnicity has become an increasingly important factor in neighborhood formation in many developed economies. We specify a gravity model for neighborhoods to assess the role of ethnicity in intra-urban residential relocations. Migration patterns of different ethnic groups are hypothesized to...

Policy Experimentation and Information Crawling : A Case Study in China’s Hukou System Reforms

Wong, Shing Yip - 2012

The notion of policy experimentation was proposed to explain China’s adaptability in policy-making process. Heilmann (2008a) proposed ‘decentralised experimentation with ad hoc interference’ as the central feature of policy experimentation. Through installing ‘experimental points’ at...

Labor Market Outcomes and Reforms in China

Meng, Xin - In: Journal of Economic Perspectives 26 (2012) 4, pp. 75-102

Over the past few decades of economic reform, China's labor markets have been transformed to an increasingly market-driven system. China has two segregated economies: the rural and urban. Understanding the shifting nature of this divide is probably the key to understanding the most important...
