Ideology and Migration after the American Civil War
利用肯塔基州士兵的纵向数据，研究美国内战后退伍军人及其家庭根据意识形态选择迁移地点的行为，发现意识形态显著影响迁移决策，但经济回报有限。
The American Civil War fractured communities in border states where families who would eventually support the Union or the Confederacy lived together prior to the conflict. We study the subsequent migration choices of Civil War veterans and their families using a unique longitudinal dataset covering enlistees from the border state of Kentucky. Nearly half of surviving Kentucky veterans moved to a new county between 1860 and 1880. We find strong evidence of sorting along ideological dimensions for veterans from both sides of the conflict. However, we find limited evidence of a positive economic return to these relocation decisions.
