“…Though the evidence on the Tiebout hypothesis is mixed (Dowding, John, and Biggs 1994;Rhode and Strumpf 2000), mobility decisions do seem to reflect some key area factors such as school quality (Figlio and Lucas 2000), crime rates and victimization (Cullen and Levitt 1996;Dugan 1999), and changes in neighborhood composition (Lee, Oropesa, andKanan 1994: Crowder 2000).…”

This article investigates the causal effects of neighborhood on high school dropping out and teenage pregnancy within a counterfactual framework. It shows that when two groups of children, identical at age 10 on observed factors, experience different neighborhoods during adolescence, those in high-poverty neighborhoods are more likely to drop out of high school and have a teenage pregnancy than those in low-poverty neighborhoods. Causal inferences from such associations have been plagued by the possibility of selection bias. Using a new method for sensitivity analysis, these effects are shown to be robust to selection bias. Unobserved factors would have to be unreasonably strong to account for the associations between neighborhood and the outcomes.

The influence of taxes on migration: evidence from Switzerland

Empirical studies on the impact of taxation on migration have been limited by a lack of comparable data in an international context and a lack of variation in tax burdens within countries. A notable exception to the latter is Switzerland. Prior empirical studies on tax competition in Switzerland have had to rely on aggregated data. In general, these studies have been supportive of the notion of tax competition, i.e., high earners tend to relocate to low-tax regions. The authors use an alternative panel approach based on micro-data from the first three waves of the newly established Swiss Household Panel. Despite active community tax policies aimed at attracting new residents and a significant increase in tax-burden dispersion among communities in the past decade, no tax-induced migration is observed. Migration decisions are found to be strongly influenced by accommodation-related factors that point to important housing-market effects.

“…On the more general effects of emigration on development, see Massey (1988), Papademetriou and Martin (1991) and Skeldon (1997). 8 For a review of this very extensive literature, see Dowding et al (1994). 9 Starting with Rawls' original position behind the 'veil of ignorance', many political and legal theorists have questioned the notion of national conceptions of justice, and have developed more universal theories of justice.…”

Exit, vote and sovereignty: migration, states and globalization

In this article I introduce a framework for understanding the political effects of globalization on labor. While the globalization literature is rife with references to the effects of sovereignty from global trade and capital networks, there is surprisingly little written about the effects of increased labor mobility on national sovereignty. To fill this void, I adapt Albert Hirschman's (1970) model to examine how exit might affect national voice in the context of free international migration. This adapted framework generates concrete expectations about how increased mobility affects both internal and external conceptions of sovereignty. In particular, increased mobility is shown to improve the responsiveness of governments to citizen demands. Thus, in contrast to the general consensus that labor/voters benefit least from increased globalization, I suggest that the problem facing labor is not globalization, per se. In a world characterized by relatively free mobility for other factors of production (and their owners), labor/voters appear to be handicapped by being prisoners of territory.
