“…The majority intends to stay in Germany, which is in line with the findings from previous studies. Based on DZHW data of 2004/2005 study cohort, Haussen and Uebelmesser () reported that 60.4% of the graduates live in Germany five years after graduation and that they live in the regions where they studied. Busch and Weigert () also reported a 70% stay rate in regions after ten years of graduation based on GSOEP 1980–2004 which the authors interpret as the creation of regional labour markets by the universities in German federal states.…”

This paper investigates the relationship between Big Five personality traits and individuals' intentions to migrate in countries that vary in their culture. Using data collected from university students in Germany, we find that extraversion and openness are positively associated with migration intentions, while agreeableness, conscientiousness, and emotional stability negatively relate to migration intentions.Openness positively and extraversion negatively relate to the willingness to move to culturally distant countries after controlling for geographic distance and economic differences between countries. Extravert and conscientious individuals are less likely to prefer linguistically distant countries contrary to agreeable individuals.

“…This evidence could favor use of DBHP 11 as an instrument as DBHP is more likely to capture where the parents themselves grew up. Other research (Winters 2011;Haussen and Uebelmesser 2015) suggests that students develop location-specific capital in the area where they went to college. This research supports the use of DBE.…”

Family courts now encourage both parents to maintain contact with their children following separation/divorce, believing this is in the child's best interest. We use geographical distance between nonresidential parents and their children to test how such distance is related to educational and behavioral outcomes within a population sample of children from nonnuclear families in Denmark. As this distance is a choice, nonresidential parents may choose where to live in part based on expected child outcomes; results that fail to take endogeneity into account will be biased. We use instrumental variable techniques to control for this potential endogeneity. The results indicate educational outcomes are somewhat better for all and behavioral outcomes are at least no worse for girls who live at a greater distance from their non-residential parent. Failing to control for endogeneity seems to bias the results for behavioral outcomes in favor of more proximate parents. Thus, policy efforts to keep separated parents geographically closer for the sake of their children may in fact not be advantageous.

Using a longitudinal, representative survey-based dataset, we not only observe the transition of graduates to the labor market but also every subsequent job change within five years after graduation. Contrary to what is often assumed in the literature, our findings show that around 75% of the graduates have more than one job within our observation period and for a non-negligible share of them, job changes are related to interregional migration. Whereas job changes mostly depend on the field of study and previous employment conditions, migration is predominantly affected by previous migration paths and regional characteristics. JEL-Classification: J61, J62, R11, I23, H72Keywords: job changes, interregional migration, graduates, longitudinal graduate survey IntroductionIn recent decades, migration of high-skilled has notably increased (see, e.g., Docquier and Marfouk 2005 for international evidence). From a global perspective, this development is positive as a more mobile high-skilled workforce leads to a more efficient allocation of labor across regions and countries and allows for better adjustments to economic change (Borjas et al. 1997). From the regional or national perspective, however, the effects are less clear. In particular, whether the investment in higher education pays out depends on graduate mobility. If more graduates in a region lead to more human capital there, this can be expected to foster economic growth and innovative performance (see, e.g., Audretsch et al. 2005, Baptista and Mendonça 2010, Fritsch and Aamoucke 2013 and to lead to higher tax revenues (Gérard and Uebelmesser 2014). But there is considerable theoretical and empirical evidence that the individual propensity to migrate is positively correlated with human capital endowment (Coulom...
