An interesting yet largely unstudied question regarding labour mi-gration behaviour and residence duration is whether migration be-comes more or less likely over time. This paper analyses the deter-minants of residence duration for Finnish graduates. Our results af-firm the importance of cumulative inertia as a determinant of mi-gration. The longer a person stays in a region, the smaller are the hazard rates of migration. However, for those graduates who moved to a new region during their year of graduation, the propen-sity for repeat migration is particularly high during their first three years of residence.
