Summary:
This research report focuses on migration intentions of Europeans and investigates the main determinants of these intentions. The main advantage of studying mobility intentions rather than studying migrants in their destination country is that this approach is not biased by selectivity issues. There is indeed a large body of literature showing that migrants self-select in labour markets where their return-to-skills is expected to be larger. Moreover, literature suggests that it is not simply mobility that is of interest in socioeconomic models, but the potential for mobility.
CONTENTS
Introduction
Previous research and expectations
Data and model analysis
Descriptive results for migration intentions
Analysis of long distance mobility intentions
Migration intentions in EU15 and new Member States
Triggers and barriers to mobility
Regional mobility within countries
Conclusions
Bibliography
