title: Real earnings and human migration in the United States.
abstract: "The present article offers an alternative [to Rabianski's] empirical analysis of the migration impact of living cost differentials and deals with net (as opposed to gross) [U.S.] migration to some 25 (as opposed to just 11) SMSAs over the 1960-70 rather than the 1955-60 time period.  The results...indicate that...living cost differentials do significantly affect geographic mobility, i.e., improve the regression results."
