title: Migration from the northeast to the southeast in Brazil:  do migrants succeed?
abstract: "In this paper 1980 [Brazilian] Census microdata are used to evaluate the experiences of males who moved from the Northeast to the Southeast in the post- 'miracle' period.  Using regression analysis, migrant earnings are compared to those of persons who remain in the Northeast, to estimate the average earnings gain from relocating.  These results are then disaggregated by education, age at migration, period of residence, and particular sending and receiving location, to provide more specific information on which groups benefit most.  Wide variation in gains is observed, but substantial improvements in earnings are reported in most cases."
