Estimating Economic Return of Internal Migration in Italy Applying a Two-Regime Endogenous-Switching Model
摘要
In recent years, internal migration in Italy has been increasingly characterized by flows of highly skilled and educated migrants, marking a shift from past trends. This dynamic introduces an additional layer of endogeneity in decision-making processes within models estimating the economic returns of migration. In this study, we apply a recent Maximum Likelihood approach to estimate endogenous switching models, offering a solution to the challenges of identification and endogeneity in migration decision-making.
