‘Get back to where you once belonged’? Effects of skilled internal migration on Italian regional green growth
研究了意大利区域内部迁移对绿色增长的影响，发现高技能跨区域移民与目的地绿色就业正相关，尤其是返回南部地区的移民，强调了人力资本迁移在可持续发展中的作用。
The paper investigates the effects of internal migration on green growth in Italian regions. We use employment in "sustainable" sectors to measure green growth, resorting to a novel measure based on the EU taxonomy for sustainable activities. Using data from 103 Italian regions (NUTS3) from 2008 to 2018, we find that highly skilled interregional migrants are positively related to green employment in their destinations. The effect is possibly due to return migrants to the Southern regions. Overall, the evidence emphasizes the importance of human capital migration in sustainable development.
