Abstract

This paper deals with the implications of personal mobility for political participation of citizens and for the resulting size of the welfare state. We show that mobility of citizens may influence the individual decision to participate in the political process and thereby may change policy outcomes. If citizens who prefer a larger public sector are relatively immobile, the size of the welfare state may increase with mobility. (JEL D72, J61)
