Tales Of Migration Without Wage Differentials: Individual, Family, And Community Contexts

Author

  • Stark, Oded

Abstract

By means of examples that pertain to individual, family,and community contexts, it is shown that migration between locations is compatible with a zero expected net earnings differential between locations. The examples give rise to testable predictions that differ sharply from the predictions that emanate from a standard postulate of earnings differential.
