title: Recent evidence on the effect of real earnings on net migration.
abstract: "This paper examines the effect of gross nominal earnings, gross real earnings, and net real earnings on net migration in a simultaneous-equation model of net migration and employment growth.  Using US SMSA data for 1970-75, the study shows that nominal earnings are not a good proxy for real earnings.  In addition, gross real earnings performed better than net real earnings, suggesting a possibility of 'tax illusion' on the part of the migrants.  Besides, employment growth had a significant positive effect on net migration, whereas net migration affected employment growth positively but less significantly."  (summary in FRE, GER)
