On the other hand, a recent paper by Beegle et al (2011) finds no evidence that household wealth restricts migration in Tanzania, whereas Abramitzky et al (2012) find a negative relationship between wealth and the probability of both internal and international migration in the analysis of historical mass migration from Norway to the US.…”

Using a simple theoretical model, we show that the level of migration costs relative to wealth determines the form of the relation between income and migration intentions, which can be monotonically decreasing, increasing, or inverse U-shaped. Using unique individual level data, covering three geographic regions-sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, and Latin America-we show that migration intentions do indeed respond to individual wealth, and that the patterns differ across the country groups studied in a manner compatible with the predictions of our model. Further, contentment with various dimensions of local amenities plays an important role for migration decisions. JEL: O15, R23, J61

“…These might be thought of as non-core variables and constitute, together with the core variables, an extended H-T model. Such extended H-T models have been recently successfully applied to regional migration in countries such as Russia (Andrienko and Guriev 2004) and Poland (Ghatak et al 2008), where in both cases the core and a range of non-core variables were found to be significant.…”

Spanish Internal Migration: Is there Anything New to Say?

Spanish internal migration has long been resistant to traditional economic explanations.However this paper examines the data from 1999-2006 after considerable changes in the Spanish economy. Moreover it examines migration at the disaggregated level of Spanish provinces rather than regions, the usual unit of measurement. Using a spatial error model as well as a spatial autoregression model it finds the differentials in wages and unemployment between provinces to be significant explanatory variables. Housing prices are also important in accounting for the dynamics of internal migration.

“…There is, however, an important distinction. The pattern of decline of NMR reflects important regional differences (see Figure II) notably the decling relative attractiveness of regions such as Siberia (Andrienko and Guriev 2003). These patterns have changed somewhat after the year 2000.…”

“…Empirical evidence (Andrienko and Guriev 2003) seems to suggest that migration rates are not in fact high, and can be largely explained by traditional factors, although there has been some change of regional migration patterns in the past few years. Nevertheless, the subject has attracted considerable attention (Gerber 2000, Heleniak 2002).…”

ABSTRACTRussian Cities in Transition: The Impact of Market Forces in the 1990s * This paper analyses Russian city growth during the command and transition eras. Our main focus is on understanding the extent to which market forces are replacing command forces, and the resulting changes in Russian city growth patterns. We examine net migration rates for a sample of 171 medium and large cities for the period 1960 through 2002. We conclude that while the declining net migration rate was reversed during the first half of the 1990s, restrictions continued to matter during the early years of transition in the sense that net migration rates were lower in the restricted than in the unrestricted cities. This pattern seemingly came to an end in the late 1990s. The subject of Russian urban expansion, and specifically the growth patterns of Russian cities, has been of great interest to economists and indeed to a wide spectrum of researchers. While much of our general understanding of city growth patterns emerges from the study of market economies, a contrasting body of knowledge on city growth emerges from our interest in the formerly centrally planned economies (CPE's). Of special interest in this context is the nature and extent that city growth patterns in CPE's have differed from patterns observed in market economies, these differences driven by very different economic systems, ...
