Migration History, Migration Behavior and Selectivity Annals of Regional Science 27,4 (December 1993): 315-326.

A series of proportional hazards models are used to study the relationship between migration history and migration behavior for a sample of young adults from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. The results support the argument that migration is a selective process. College educated young adults have a greater hazard rate of making an initial migration but a lower hazard rate of re-migration, suggesting they have less need of corrective geographic behavior. Individuals who have moved two or more times are less responsive to national unemployment conditions than first time migrants. Migration is related to the timing of unemployment within a sojourn. The findings suggest that migrant stock is an important determinant of how labor markets function. |

The Effect of Income Taxes on Interstate Migration: An Analysis by Age and Race Annals of Regional Science 46,1 (February 2011): 205-218. Also: http://www.springerlink.com/content/m6818845052r8251/fulltext.pdf Cohort(s): NLSY79, NLSY97 Publisher: Springer Keyword(s): Age and Ageing; Geocoded Data; Geographical Variation; Income; Job Status; Migration; Racial Differences; State-Level Data/Policy; Taxes Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. The topic of interstate migration and the effects of taxes on migration have been extensively studied. Prior research has examined not only many possible determinants of migration but also the migrations of various populations, including the elderly, African-Americans, and the college educated. The present study will attempt to differentiate itself from this prior research by looking at the effect of income taxes on the interstate migration of both whites and African-Americans at various ages. Another distinguishing feature of the present study is that it will use data from the NLSY-Geocode, a data set not used previously for this type of study. Results of the present study are similar to the results of prior works; income taxes have an effect on migration for most races and age groups. Individuals move from states with high income taxes to states with low income taxes; these results corroborate the results obtained from the use of aggregate, state-level data. In addition, results of the present study suggest that non-economic factors, such as ties to a particular state and changes in employment status, are also important factors in an individual's migration decision. |

Social Networks and Black-White Differentials in Public Employment Agency Usage among Mature Job Seekers The Annals of Regional Science 56,2 (March 2016): 433-448. Also: http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00168-016-0746-9 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Springer Keyword(s): Geocoded Data; Job Search; Racial Differences; Social Contacts/Social Network; Unemployment Rate Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. We conceptually and empirically analyze how local labor market weakness impacts the usage of public employment agencies (PEAs) between Blacks and Whites in the USA. Employing restricted-use data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, our empirical results indicate that Blacks have higher PEA-usage rates than Whites, likely caused by their higher unemployment rates. However, Whites in regions with relatively weak professional networks tended to tap into PEAs more than otherwise similar Blacks, reducing the Black-White differential in PEA usage. These findings fit with the conceptual prediction that Whites endure a disproportionate negative impact when tighter labor markets (and thus fewer referrals) exist. They also raise the question about whether current anti-labor-market discrimination policies account for potential job-referral differentials between Black and Whites. To the extent that employers favor employee recommendations from members of a particular racial/ethnic group, then perhaps policy targeting discrimination in the workplace should consider how job openings are initially advertised and subsequently filled. |
