title: Migration as spatial job-search:  a survey of empirical findings.
abstract: "This paper surveys the empirical literature concerning the complex interrelationships among personal unemployment, migration and the likelihood of re-employment.  Particular attention is devoted to those microdata-based studies that consider migration as spatial job-search. Implications concerning migration efficiency vary among the studies surveyed, and depend upon the methodology, data and econometric procedures employed. Recent findings by the authors, based upon a new estimation technique, provide additional evidence concerning the success of job-search vis-a-vis migration." The geographical focus is on the United States. (SUMMARY IN FRE AND GER)
