Migration, Age, and Education
The shape of the earnings-age function and the way education affects it can explain all the empirically observed relations of migration measures to distance moved, age, and education. No other assumptions (which are often made)--such as attributing lower risk aversion and higher efficiency of job search to more-educated persons, or higher psychic cost of moving to older persons--are needed. The individual's search for jobs and the firm's search f…

Interpreting the Effect of Distance on Migration
In this paper I discuss the economic (and other) determinants of the adverse effect of distance on migration, which is demonstrated by the negative distance elasticity of migration flows. These determinants are sorted and classified into two groups: (1) increasing (with distance) psychic cost and (2) diminishing (with distance) information. I further discuss how aging and education respectively influence the relative importance of these two group…
