Employment opportunities, wages and interregional migration in Sweden 1870-1989
Article Abstract:
Two migration models, neoclassical and fixed-wage, are used to explain the effect of regional differences in employment opportunities on migration. The neoclassical or flexible-wage model achieves full employment through migration and real-wage adjustment, and the fixed-wage model shows that stable levels of excess supply of labor is established through migration. Waged-induced migration is affected by regional differences in employment prospects and highly progressive taxation scheme.

Interregional equilibrium: a transatlantic view
Article Abstract:
Some observers feel that the arguments for interregional equilibrium are different in the US and the UK. In the US the amount of land available for homes and offices is not fixed but subject to market forces. In the UK planning permission has to be obtained for house or office developments, often only a small amount of land is designated for development. One writer feels that disequilibrium is the nearest viewpoint in line with economic thought.

Interregional wage disparities, relocation costs, and labor mobility in Canada
Article Abstract:
Analysis of the possible reasons for interregional wage disparity persistence in Canada reveals that age, education, English language proficiency, information access and mobility costs appear to affect wage disparity negatively. The study compares 1989 and 1990 data from the Canadian Labour Market Activity Surveys and speculates that regional wage disparities over time may also be a part of the demographic phenomenon.
