title: Interregional migration and interindustry labour mobility in Canada:  a simultaneous approach.
abstract: "This paper argues that interindustry labour mobility and interregional migration are simultaneously determined processes.  It estimates a bivariate probit model of migration and mobility [using data for Canada] and concludes that the interindustry mobility of labour is dominated by the availability of employment hours, and that wage differentials are a statistically significant, but small, determinant of interregional migration.... Since interindustry mobility is much larger in magnitude than interregional migration, quantity constraints in labour markets are of central importance to the adaptive capacity of the economy."
