title: Labor migration in Europe:  experiences from Germany after unification.
abstract: "This paper examines the effects of diverging economic conditions on labor migration within reunified Germany.  We employ a life-cycle model with consumers' sovereignty regarding choice of location to derive estimates of labor migration in future periods.  Heterogeneity of individuals is explicitly taken into account by adopting a random utility approach.... Within limits, our predictions can serve as rough indicators of potential future migration between Eastern and Western Europe."
