The migration response to local labour market shocks: Evidence from EU regions during the global economic crisis
研究了全球经济危机期间欧盟地区劳动力市场差异对净迁入率的影响，发现危机期间迁移对劳动力市场状况的反应显著增强，且迁移行为出现调整，如向城市地区集中。
Abstract The global economic crisis has strongly affected Europe's economic geography. This study investigates the role of local labour market disparities in determining regional net in‐migration rates. While only a weak link is detected in the precrisis period, the local labour market context of migration grows significantly stronger during the crisis. Decompositions of the estimation results show that changes in migration rates are firstly a result of widened disparities across European regions throughout the crisis. However, also behavioural adjustment processes occur, e.g. an orientation of migrants towards urban areas and away from regions with persistently high long‐run unemployment rates.
