B. Andreeva

February 6, made a presentation on "Determinants of interregional mobility in Russia (under S. Guriev, Y. Andrienko, 2004)," a student HSE Barbara Andreeva.

Authors investigate political, economic and social factors of migration in Russia using panel data on gross region-to-region migration flows in1992-99. Both the fixed effects and current economic situation matter. People move from poorer and job scarce regions with worse public provision to richer ones in terms of employment opportunities and public goods. However, the lack of liquidity constrains migration. A third of Russian regions are locked in poverty traps.

The seminar was held at 3, 10th Line VO.
