Net Migration, Unemployment, and the Business Cycle*

Abstract: "An empirical test of the effects of exogenous shocks upon a region's population size is conducted in the framework of an equilibrium locational model. The model emphasizes the separation of endogenous from exogenous factors, a point omitted in most empirical studies of aggregate migration. Exogenous changes are manifested in the local relative cost of living and the local relative unemployment rate. Hypotheses are tested using a national sample of youth, in addition to census, data [for the United States].… Show more

“…Numerous studies have documented the influence of economic conditions on mobility rates, namely that periods of expansion are associated with high migration rates while recessions tend to dampen migration (Clark 1982;Greenwood et al 1986;Haurin and Haurin 1988;Long 1988;Milne 1993;Plane 1989Plane , 1994. Various reasons are advanced to explain this empirical association.…”

“…Their analysis emphasizes that individuals whose skills are more mismatched with the reward structure of their current state of residence are those most likely to leave that state and relocate to states that offer higher rewards for their skills. Other papers in the literature have similarly considered the relationship between migration and local labor market conditions as estimated by unemployment rates (see, e.g., Basker, 2003, who uses CPS data;Nakosteen et al, 2008, who use data from Statistics Sweden; and Haurin and Haurin, 1988, who use the NLSY and CPS).…”

“…These datasets include the CPS (Basker, 2003, andBlank, 1988), the decennial Census data (Wozniak, 2010;Malamud and Wozniak, 2010;Whisler et al, 2008;Herzog and Schlottmann, 1986), the Integrated Public Use Microdata Series, based on Census data Schlottmann, 1983, andRosenbloom andSundstrom, 2003), the NLSY (Haurin and Haurin, 1988;Yankow, 2002Yankow, /2003Yankow, , 2003Borjas et al, 1992), and the PSID (Rodgers andRodgers, 2000, andBlackburn et al, 2010). Additionally, studies have used the Social Security Administration's Continuous Work History Sample (Greenwood, 1986) and data from the IRS (Davies et al, 2001).…”

“…A younger individual is more likely to migrate than a middle aged or older person. As individuals age they are less likely to move except during the years around retirement (Cadwallader 1992;Haurin and Haurin 1988). Those under age 18 or people over 65 years of age are the least mobile (Greenwood 1975).…”
