Determinants of Migration in the Nordic Labor Market
研究了北欧一体化劳动力市场中迁移流动的决定因素,发现芬兰向瑞典的迁移主导了整体流动,但迁移弹性并不如预期那样对芬兰人更高,实际工资差异才是主因。
"Migration flows in the integrated Nordic labor market are heavily dominated by Finnish migration to Sweden. Differences in migration behavior across the Nordic populations are identified. Elasticities of migration are obtained from a logistic human capital model estimated as seemingly unrelated regressions. Differences in migration behavior are shown to exist, but the elasticities are not systematically higher for the Finns as could be expected. The domination of Finnish migration to Sweden is instead explained by real wage differences and since these have narrowed, major migration flows should not be expected in the future, unless large differences in labor market performance arise."
