Rural-to-urban migration and the shadow wage in LDCs.
"This paper discusses the amount of rural-to-urban migration which will be forthcoming when a new urban job is created for which an institutionally fixed wage above the market-clearing level is offered.  A simple formula is proposed to estimate migration response.  It can be used to calculate the shadow wage in cost-benefit analysis (CBA) in less developed countries (LDCs)."
