“…Ding (2021) fi nds that attending college signifi cantly increases the likelihood of residing in a diff erent province later in life. In general, however, educated workers' mobility is not high, at least not as high as less-educated rural workers (Luo and Xing, 2016). For educated workers to move, they often need to sacrifi ce the welfare benefi ts of local hukou.…”

Based on a representative survey of new college graduates in China, we present a job location choice model that allows for a self‐selection effect in college regions by considering region‐dependent heterogeneous preference for job locations and unobservable location features. We also treat endogenous housing costs using the method developed by Berry et al. (1995). Our estimation results show that college education significantly increases graduates' likelihood of working in the city where their college is located. However, a model that does not consider the self‐selection effect overestimates this impact. The impact of college location on a graduate's migration decision varies considerably across cities. There is significant heterogeneity between students from universities of different tiers and rural versus urban areas. Meanwhile, the graduates show a marked home preference when choosing their job locations, and they tend to avoid working in cities with high housing costs. These findings shed light on debates on place‐based higher education policies and spatial distribution of human capital with a high level of education.

“…Previous studies mainly studied the self‐selection of migrants from the perspective of rural–urban migration. Nevertheless, their results are quite mixed, including positive selection (Wu, 2010; Xing, 2014), negative selection (Luo & Xing, 2016), and intermediate selection (Du et al, 2005). Inversely, we suggest a U‐shaped non‐linear selection pattern by skill from the new perspective of inter‐regional migration, totally different from previous patterns.…”

This paper investigates the role of selective migration policies in the self‐selection of migrants, taking China's specific household registration (hukou) system as a case study. We first incorporate the hukou system into the self‐selection framework, demonstrating that it leads to a U‐shaped selection pattern of migrants from inland to coastal regions. Based on four periods of census data in China, we further employed the binary logit and conditional logit models to verify our proposed theory. The results imply that the hukou system influences migrant selection through restricting hukou‐related social amenities and distorting return to education by wage discrimination.

“…In recent years, based on the fifth and sixth censuses in China, some scholars have explored the features of interprovincial population floating [15,16]. ey analysed the relationship between population mobility and related socioeconomic indicators, such as the urban-rural income gap [17,18], regional economic growth [19][20][21], epidemic diffusion [22,23], and market potential and anticipated revenue [18]. However, due to the lack of continuity in data, it is hard to demonstrate how population mobility evolves and how evolution gradually influences economic development [24].…”

This paper analyses the evolutionary characteristics of the interprovincial population mobility network structure in China and explores the roles of provinces from 2010 to 2015. By constructing the interprovincial population mobility network, we examine the provinces’ functions during periods of population mobility through population mobility diversity, population mobility, and population mobility intermediation. The results show that the coverage and tightness of the interprovincial population mobility network were influenced by national economic development, increasing steadily from 2010 to 2014 and then suddenly falling in 2015. The regions that played essential roles in the province’s mobility diversity and intermediation showed a dispersion trend. In contrast, areas that played a vital role in the inflows or outflows were relatively concentrated and stable. Additionally, this work further explores how economic factors, e.g., GDP, residents’ consumption levels, total population, unemployment rate, and consumer price index, are used as independent variables to analyse the provinces’ roles in the interprovincial population mobility network. The analysis shows that the inflow or outflow volumes are easily affected by the five indices. These five indices are significantly related to network role indicators to different extents.
