Two earner family migration:  a search theoretic approach.
"This paper represents the first attempt to model the two earner family decision to migrate using a joint search theoretic approach.  In so doing, the paradox of a couple whose members would both migrate if single but decide not to migrate because they are married to each other is discovered and explained.  Furthermore the impact of the rising number of working women and reentry of wives into the labor force on the extent and regional pattern of migration is discussed.  Extensions to the model are addressed, as well as future avenues of research, both theoretical and empirical."  A geographical focus on the United States is implied.
