  • Fiscal Policy, Returns to Skills, and Canada-US Migration

    Gary L Hunt, Richard E MuellerARTICLECanadian Public Policy2013References: 4

    Dans cet article, nous présentons un modèle logit hiérarchique des migrations entre 59 régions du Canada et des États-Unis que nous avons conçu grâce à plus de 70 000 microdonnées portant sur les travailleurs de tous les déciles de la répartition des compétences que comportaient les recensements canadiens et américains de 2000/2001, puis nous faisons des estimations et des simulations. En combinant les données individuelles et et les données régi…

  • Food Prices and the Timing of Welfare Payments

    Georges A Tanguay, Georges Tanguay et al.ARTICLECanadian Public Policy2005References: 2

    This is a study of the relationship between the timing of social welfare payments and the price of food for one neighbourhood in Montreal. Using prices of 31 grocery products over 26 weeks and across seven stores, we obtain two main results. First, we show that the availability of social welfare resources affects grocery prices throughout the month. Second, average grocery prices are lowest during cheque-receipt week and rise by 6.8 percent to 11…

  • North American Migration

    Gary L Hunt, Richard E MuellerARTICLEThe Review of Economics and…2004

    Utilizing a utility-maximizing, Roy-type, discrete choice model of worker location in Canadian provinces and U.S. states that incorporates returns to skill, amenities, fixed costs, distance, language, and border effects, we find that individuals with higher skills migrate to areas with higher returns and that the 49th parallel attenuates migration. Simulations indicate that equalizing returns in the two countries has a modest effect on cross-coun…

  • The Dynamics of U.S. Internal Migration

    George I Treyz, Dan S Rickman et al.ARTICLEThe Review of Economics and…1993

    In this paper the authors have theoretically derived a net migration equation and estimated it using time-series data for 51 regions over the period 1971-88. The results indicate that the dynamic response of net migration is stable and is significantly related to stock equilibrium changes induced by amenity differentials, relative employment opportunities, relative real wages, and industry composition. Moreover, the explicit linkage of stock equi…

  • Equilibrium and Disequilibrium in Migration Modelling

    HUNT G. L. (1993) Equilibrium and disequilibrium in migration modelling, Reg. Studies 27, 341–349. Equilibrium and disequilibrium approaches to migration modelling are elucidated and distinguishing features are identified. Relevant econometric evidence bearing on these distinctions is reviewed. A summary of current knowledge and priorities for future research is presented. HUNT G. L. (1993) Equilibre et déséquilibre dans la modélisation de la mig…

  • Forecasting State and Local Population Growth with Limited Data

    Open AccessMichael J Greenwood, Gary L HuntARTICLEEnvironment and Planning A…1991Cited by: 1References: 11

    Long-term forecasts of state and local population are required for a variety of reasons, but frequently these forecasts or projections are not tied to economic activity, and the migration component of population change is commonly treated in an unsatisfactory fashion. In this paper, growth of state and local population is related to the area's net natural increase and to its net migration, which must be inferred because of lack of data. In turn, …
