This paper shows the relationship between corruption and migration. In particular, countries with much corruption are shown to encourage emigration and discourage immigration because they provide worse and unpredictable economic conditions, more insecurity, and a lower quality of life. This hypothesis is confirmed empirically with a cross-sectional dataset with bilateral migration data covering 230 countries. Well-known implications of the gravity model are confirmed here: larger populations, a common language and a common border increase migration, while distance between two countries decreases migration. Furthermore, education, GDP per capita, inflation in the destination country, as well as corruption and education in the origin country can robustly explain migration. Corruption thus appears to be a push factor of migration.

“…1 The Tiebout model is the underpinning of the conventional public finance idea that jurisdictions face competition for mobile households (Mieszkowski & Zodrow, 1989). "Voting with your feet" is similar to moving with your pocketbook in conventional private market settings and can compel governments to improve performance and efficiency (Goodspeed, 1998a;Oates, 2001;Oates & Schwab, 1988).…”

Fiscal competition literature emphasizes the need to consider fiscal implications of the flow of labor and capital across jurisdictional boundaries. This open‐economy consideration raises issues for the analysis of fiscal policies, ranging from taxation and expenditure policies to the structure of intergovernmental relations and interjurisdictional competition. Using data on state population movement and pension reforms (2002−2015), this study examines whether the adoption of pension reforms was motivated by state government competition for the mobile tax base. The findings suggest that interstate migration has an influence on states’ enactment of pension reform, and the effect differs by state population density.

“…In the recent literature the public choice approach towards migration has gained increasing attention (see e.g. Goodspeed (1998)). The increasing factor mobility induced by the European integration changes the pie that can be distributed in each country.…”

AbstractIncreasing labor mobility has an impact on all redistributive policy measures undertaken by national governments. This paper focuses on intergenerational redistribution, in particular PAYG financed public pension systems, and surveys some of the recent literature on this topic. Two different strands in the literature are covered: In the median-voter framework, policy outcomes depend on both the structure of the population and on the design of the public pension system. In addition, we look at the welfare-theoretical literature which addresses the harmonization of social security policies.
