Welfare Payments and Other Economic Determinants of Female Migration
研究福利、工资和失业如何影响美国女性的跨州迁移概率，发现福利增加会提高迁移概率，对带小孩的单身母亲和近期无工作经验的女性影响最大。
"This article investigates the effects of welfare payments, wages, and unemployment on women's probability of interstate migration [in the United States]. It also investigates if the income attraction of locations varies with recency of labor market experience. Welfare gains increase the probability of interstate migration. Welfare effects are largest for single mothers with small children and stronger among women with no recent labor market experience. The welfare effects, albeit small, are larger than the wage effects. The wage effects are weaker among women with no recent work experience. Ethnic-specific analyses suggest differences in migration behavior among Anglos, African-Americans, and Puerto Ricans."
