Returns to Regional Migration : Causal Effect or Selection on Wage Growth?

Kratz, Fabian - 2012

Human capital theory predicts pecuniary returns to regional migration, but also positive self-selection of migrants. Therefore, when estimating the causal effect of migration one has to take care of potential self-selection. Several authors recommend using fixed effects models thereby...

This paper analyses the causal linkages between regional labour market variables and internal migration flows among German states between 1991-2006. We adopt a Panel VAR approach to identify the feedback effects among the variables and analyse the dynamic properties of the system through...

Lehmann, Robert; Nagl, Wolfgang - 2017 - This version: February 12, 2017

Underestimated benefits from periphery : internal migration and subjective well-being ; conference paper

Faßhauer, Angela; Rehdanz, Katrin - 2014

This paper is among the first to link internal migration and subjective well-being in developed countries. Economic theory predicts that individuals migrate towards urban agglomerations, if the potential gain in income is sufficient to cover costs. However, this narrow view cannot explain why...
