This paper adds three dimensions to the received literature: it models migration when the individuals’ preferences regarding their relative incomes are ordinal, it works out the resulting spatial steady‐state distribution of the individuals, and it shows that the aggregate of the individuals’ migration choices in the spatial steady‐state distribution sums to the social optimum. This finding does not apply when the individuals’ preferences regarding their relative incomes are cardinal. We highlight the importance of the assumption about the nature of the individuals’ social preferences (whether ordinal or cardinal) to studying and predicting their migration behaviour, and to elucidating the consequences of that behaviour for social welfare
