The Art of Making Everybody Happy: how to Prevent a Secession.

In this paper we examine compensation schemes that prevent a threat of secession by all country's regions and in the same time provide no incentives for citizens' migration within the country. We prove that, under quite general assumptions on the distribution of citizens' preferences, there exist transfer schemes that are both secession-proof and migration-proof.
