    Traditional migration models predict lower migration with higher origin income. However, imperfect capital markets mean wealthier regions may see more migration due to financing availability, challenging established migration theories.

    Area of Science:

    • Economics
    • Sociology
    • Demography

    Background:

    • Established migration theory posits a negative relationship between origin income and migration rates.
    • Empirical studies often report non-significant or positive correlations between origin income and migration, contradicting traditional theory.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the impact of imperfect capital markets on the relationship between origin income and migration.
    • To provide a theoretical explanation for observed positive or non-significant income-migration elasticities.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a simplified migration model.
    • Theoretical analysis of how capital market imperfections influence migration decisions.

  • Demonstrates that imperfect capital markets can lead to a positive relationship between origin income and migration.
  • Higher regional income can increase the pool of individuals with sufficient funds to finance migration.

    • Conclusions:

    • Imperfect capital markets are a crucial factor in understanding migration patterns.
    • Recommends the use of non-linear specifications in empirical migration research to account for these effects.
