Abstract

This study is a departure from the classic analysis of the effect of international migration on human capital. Using original data from a nationally representative survey in Moldova, we employ discrete choice and count‐data models to evaluate the effect of international migration on the likelihood that “left‐behind” household members with tertiary education migrate domestically. Thus, we propose an original framework of identifying a causal relationship between international and internal migration. The main findings support the hypothesis that international migration leads to an increase in the preference for urban jobs of tertiary‐educated left‐behind household members with peripheral rural origins. Este estudio se aparta del análisis clásico del efecto de la migración internacional sobre el capital humano. Mediante el uso de datos originales de una encuesta representativa a nivel nacional en Moldavia, se emplean modelos de elección discreta y de datos de recuento para evaluar el efecto de la migración internacional sobre la probabilidad de que los miembros de hogares “rezagados” con educación terciaria emigren a nivel nacional. Por lo tanto, se propone un marco original para identificar una relación causal entre la migración internacional y la migración interna. Las principales conclusiones apoyan la hipótesis de que la migración internacional conduce a un aumento de la preferencia por los empleos urbanos de los miembros con educación terciaria de hogares rezagados que poseen orígenes rurales periféricos. 本研究では、国際的な移動の人的資本に対する影響を、典型から離れた新しい方法で分析を行う。モルドバ共和国で行われた代表的標本を対象とした全国的調査の独自のデータを用いて、離散選択モデルとカウントデータモデルにより第3次教育の学歴のある“left‐behind (取り残された)”世帯員が国内移動する可能性に対する国際的な移動の影響を評価する。本稿ではこのような、国際的移動と国内移動の因果関係を識別する独自のフレームワークを提案する。主な知見は、国際的な移動が、地方の農村地域出身で第3次教育の学歴のある、取り残された世帯員が都市部での就職を選好する傾向の増加をもたらすという仮説を支持するものである。
