Analysis of Interregional Labor Migration in Spain Using Gross Flows
基于劳动力市场匹配模型，使用总流量而非净流量数据，研究了西班牙区域间劳动力流动的经济决定因素，发现失业率对迁出的影响存在阈值效应，且相对工资变化率是重要决定因素。
In this paper we study the economic determinants of Spanish interregional labor force flows from an aggregate perspective. The study is based on a matching model of the labor market applied to migration, and uses gross rather than net flows as other studies do. Among the main results, we find that unemployment increases out‐migration because unemployed people search more actively, but when the unemployment rate is above a certain level this effect is reduced. We also find that the rate of change of relative wages is a significant determinant of migration in Spain.
