Regional labour mobility, wages and unemployment in the czech republic

Abstract

Evidence on inter - regional migration in the Czech Republic shows that the relatively large flows of workers across region which prevailed through the 1980's are declining over time, in spite of the widening regional differences in the labour market conditions. However, the regression analysis shows that the current migration trends can be explained in an intuitive way by the economic conditions. The finding that the net flows are directed from high - to low - unemployment districts supports the conventional view of migration as a mechanism diminishing the regional disparities. Nevertheless, since the migration process is slow and other things (in particular wages and structural regional shocks) are not constant, this process may not be immediately apparent in the short run.
