Migration plans and hours of work in Malaysia.
"This article describes characteristics of prospective migrants in the Malaysian Family Life Survey and investigates how planning to move affects hours of work.  [The authors] use ideas about intertemporal substitution...to discuss the response to temporary and permanent wage expectations on the part of potential migrants.  [An] econometric section presents reduced-form estimates for wage rates and planned migration equations and two-stage least squares estimates for hours of work.  Men currently planning a move were found to work fewer hours.  Those originally planning only a temporary stay at their current location work more hours."
