A note on simultaneous equations models of migration and employment growth
Abstract:
The use of simultaneous equations techniques to examine the relationship between migration and employment is considered. Specifically, the author presents an explicit model that suggests that the common interpretation given existing results is in need of modification. "Migration and employment growth certainly interact, but the implicit assumption that the processes of this interaction are properly captured by allowing for direct effects between these measures cannot be maintained. The effects of predetermined variables obtained in such models are likely to be underestimated, providing the false impression that employment growth and migration are tied to one another but only weakly to those factors we expect to be behaviorally important."
