The Economics of Internal Migration: Advances and Policy Questions
综述了美国国内迁移的研究进展,包括个体迁移决策模型、迁移对个人和劳动力市场的影响、与住房市场的互动,以及鼓励迁移政策的有效性,并指出了关键未解问题。
We review developments in research on within-country migration, focusing on internal migration in the United States. We begin by describing approaches to modeling individuals’ migration decisions and equilibrium outcomes across local areas. Next, we summarize evidence regarding the impact of migration on individuals’ outcomes, implications of migration for local labor market adjustment, and interactions between migration and housing markets. Finally, we discuss evidence on the efficacy of policies aimed at encouraging migration and conclude by highlighting important unanswered questions that are critical for informing migration-related policy.
