Abstract

type="main" xml:lang="es"> La influencia de las externalidades urbanas sobre los flujos migratorios no se ha examinado por completo en la literatura existente. Este artículo investiga si los cambios de vivienda entre ciudades están asociados a una externalidad urbana específica, como son las tasas de criminalidad, por medio de datos de migración de ciudad a ciudad a escala municipal. Los resultados de la ecuación de gravedad muestran que la migración se ve afectada por las tasas de criminalidad, no sólo localmente sino también cuando se tienen en cuenta los efectos vecindario.
