Migration and market wage risk

Auteur :
COOPER, J.M.R.

Description :
The role of market wage variability as a source of information in individual migration decisions is incorporated in a model of migration. A linear approximation to the expected utility comparaison that migrant make is used to formulate a probit specification of the move or stay decision conditional on origin market and individual characteristics. A subsample of employed males from the Longitudinal Survey of Youth is used for estimation.
