Should I Stay or Should I Go

چکیده
This paper considers migration as an investment decision. It develops a continuoustime stochastic model to explain the optimal timing of migration, in the presence of ongoing uncertainty over wage differentials. The results show that individuals prefer to wait before migrating, even if the present value of the wage differential is positive, because of the uncertainty and the sunk costs associated with migration. An increased degree of risk aversion discourages migration, and interacts with the other variables and parameters affecting migration by exacerbating their effects. Acknowledgments I am grateful to John Bennett, Luca Deidda, Laurence Harris, Chris Martin, Serdar Sayan, Pasquale Scaramozzino and Roìsìn Thanki for very helpful suggestions.

Differences in firm-level productivity explain international activities of non-financial firms quite well.
