A note on cost-return calculations and decisions to migrate
Abstract:
Abstract In the notions of the aggregative cost-benefit migration models, this paper questions the assumption that prospective migrants behave as if they are not only concerned with, but are able to calculate expected pecuniary and non-pecuniary returns to re-location. Results of a survey which evaluates the role of cost-return calculations in decisions to migrate suggest that there may be population sub-groups who either do not care to make cost-returns calculations to migration, or who are unable to do so.
