title: [Migration from East to West Germany: intention and realization. A sequential probit model with unobserved heterogeneity controls].
abstract: "This study investigated migrations from eastern to western Germany.  Using a sequential decision model we first examined which persons expressed the intention of wanting to move from eastern to western Germany. Then, using unobserved heterogeneity controls we determined at the same time which persons of those willing to move actually did so later.... Once the intention to move has been declared...those who are well-qualified, short-time workers and persons who feel threatened by unemployment as well as persons with relatives in western Germany more often than average do in fact realise this intention. Commuters also have a very high rate of realisation." (SUMMARY IN ENG AND FRE AND RUS)
