  • Title: Wage distributions and spatial preferences in competitive job search and migration.
    Author: Pickles A, Rogerson P.
    Journal: Reg Stud; 1984 Apr; 18(2):131-42. PubMed ID: 12265962.
    Abstract:
    "Aggregate interstate migration data [for the United States] indicate that the majority of observed flows are from higher to lower wage states, quite contrary to the predictions of human capital theory. It is argued that a search theoretic framework may be used to complement and strengthen human capital theory. Such a framework may then include consideration of the flows of job information and aspects of job competition. A model is proposed for application to longitudinal micro-level data which overcomes a variety of theoretical and inferential problems and which remains within the bounds of empirical application."
