This study empirically extends the Tiebout hypothesis of 'voting with one's feet' in two ways. First, it provides updated estimates using net migration data for the period 2000-2008. Second, in addition to investigating variables reflecting public education outlays, property taxation and income taxation, it investigates whether migrants are attracted to states with higher Medicaid benefits per recipient. The latter hypothesis is referred to as the 'Medicaid magnet hypothesis'. The analysis includes three economic variables, three quality of life variables and three Tiebout-type factors in addition to Medicaid benefits. Empirical results indicate that consumer voters were attracted to states with higher per pupil public school spending, lower property and income tax rates, and that certain consun1er-voters may be attracted to states that offer higher levels of Medicaid benefits.

“…In conformity with most standard migration models, the variables MIj and UNj are introduced into the model to reflect labor market opportunities (cf. Renas, 1980;Renas andKumar, 1978, 1983;Cebula, 1979;andGreenwood, 1969, 1975). In addition, the dummy variables, Warmj and Westj, are included in the analysis to control for certain 'regional,' geographic, and climatic factors that have been shown to influence geographic mobility (cf.…”

“…6. Extensions of this migration model might include such variables as the rate of change of the cost of living (as in Renas andWerthwein, 1978), pollution levels (as in and chapters 7 and 9 of this book), and congestion.…”

“…With respect to the possible impact of such differentials, it is argued that the higher the property tax level in an area, the higher the cost of living in that area. Since migrants are apparently quite sensitive to living-cost differentials (Renas andKumar 1978 or Fields 1976), it is argued in the literature that, ceteris paribus, migrants should prefer areas with lower property taxes.…”
