Is the grass really fairer on the other side? Migration and Inequality in Canada
2015
This paper examines inequality within Canadian provinces and its eect on
bilateral migration
ows between 1981 and 2012. Through the availability
of a large amount of data, a xed-eect OLS model is applied to isolate
this eect. Inequality in the province of origin is a signicant driver of
outward migration, once standards of living and labour market conditions
are controlled for (through the inclusion of GDP per Capita or HDI and
the unemployment rate). Relative inequality between provinces appears to
be an insignicant determinant of net migration
ows. The congurations
of xed eects also eectively deal with possible problems in the form of
multilateral resistance to migration.
