Migration and changing employment status: a hazard function analysis
Article Abstract:
The effects of employment-status transitions on migration decisions are analyzed based on a search-theoretic context. A discrete-time hazard function for migration choices is computed on data for young French males from rural areas. Employment-status transitions are dealt with as endogenous time-varying covariates. The findings indicate that the long-distance migration hazard is related to labor market variables, and is considerably higher for the unemployed who find work than to the other transition groups.

Estimating relative standard of living in the United States using cross-migration data
Article Abstract:
Cross-migration data may be used for computing standard of living across pairs of regions in the US and 'voting with your feet' model reveals locational preference. The study develops a new estimator that may be used with census data on net migration between pairs of regions to obtain a relative standard of living. Aso, the study may be used as a reference for further studies along the same lines.
