Decomposing the effect of marital status on migration

Pages 641-644 | Published online: 06 Oct 2010
 

Abstract

An econometric technique is developed to decompose the difference in the predicted migration probability of married and unmarried individuals into three parts. This technique allows one to examine the degree to which personal characteristics influence differences in migration between the two groups. The decomposition reveals that differences in human capital characteristics explain only 15.5% of the migration probability gap.
