title: Migration equilibrium with price rigidity:  the Harris and Todaro model revisited.
abstract: The author attempts to build a general equilibrium model with migration possibilities on the lines of the Harris-Todaro model in which all the agents have explicit maximizing behavior.  "Assumptions on wage-price rigidities allow consideration of various supply-demand configurations.  One of the most interesting results is that policy recommendations derived from the usual Harris-Todaro model are not valid when excess supply prevails."  The focus is on the situation in developing countries.
