ON THE SPECIFICATION AND ESTIMATION OF MACRO RURAL–URBAN MIGRATION FUNCTIONS: WITH AN APPLICATION TO INDIAN DATA
改进了Todaro宏观迁移函数的设定,基于微观理论提出扩展,并用概率模型分析印度内部迁移,发现农村收入上升时迁移先增后减。
The authors suggest several extensions and modifications to the existing specifications of macro migration functions as suggested by Todar through a more careful investigation of the micro theory underlying migration decisions. They use a probabilistic migration model to examine internal migration in India and present evidence that migration tends first to rise and then to fall as rural income rises
