Short-term Labour Migration from the Republic of Armenia to the Russian Federation
基于面板数据，研究了从亚美尼亚到俄罗斯短期劳动力迁移的决定因素，发现迁移经验、预期收入差距、国内就业机会少和分散收入风险是重要因素，家庭关系不显著，预期收入差距约280%。
We explore the determinants of short-term labour migration from Armenia to Russia based on a unique panel dataset. A dynamic switching regression model with endogenous switching is applied. Our evidence pinpoints migration experience, the expected individual income gap from migration, low job opportunities in Armenia and the possibility of diversifying income risks as the most important determinants. Family ties turn out to be insignificant. The hypothetical income gap is about 280 per cent. Several explanations are provided for the fact that some individuals do not migrate in spite of a large income gap.
