研究了居住不动性(即是否出生在现居地)对英国脱欧投票的影响,发现本地根深蒂固者支持脱欧的概率高7%,但该效应仅在经历经济衰退或移民增加的地区显著。

Abstract

Popular explanations of the Brexit vote have centred on the division between cosmopolitan internationalists who voted Remain and geographically rooted individuals who voted Leave. In this article, we conduct the first empirical test of whether residential immobility—the concept underpinning this distinction—was an important variable in the Brexit vote. We find that locally rooted individuals—defined as those living in their county of birth—were 7% more likely to support Leave. However, the impact of immobility was filtered by local circumstances: immobility only mattered for respondents in areas experiencing relative economic decline or increases in migrant populations.
