Abstract

Ruiz A. C. Geographical mobility and potential wage gain of immigrants within Spain, Regional Studies . Geographical mobility of workers within countries can be a means of equilibrating regional economic disparities. Within this context, a relevant topic is the mobility of foreign workers in the destination country. The Spanish case is interesting, because Spain has one of Europe's fastest-growing immigration rates. This paper is aimed, first, at studying the determinants of interregional geographical mobility of immigrants in Spain and, second, at obtaining consistent estimates of an individual's opportunity wage as a mover or a stayer. Findings show that an expected wage gain exerts a positive influence on mobility and leads to a better allocation of resources.
