INDUSTRIAL UPGRADING: RURAL-URBAN MIGRANT'S TRAINING COSTS AND HETEROGENEOUS LABOR MIGRATION: Rural-Urban Migrant's Training Costs and Heterogeneous Labor Migration
2018
This article uses H‐T model to analyse economic effects of training costs and heterogeneous labour migration from the prospect of short and long terms. We build a general equilibrium model with three sectors and apply comparatively static methods in discussing economic effects of decreasing training cost for migrants when developing countries are going through industrial upgrading. The main conclusions are: a decrease in training costs reduces rural employment in the short run; there is a threshold in the long term: when rural wage is lower than this value, reducing training cost could increase rural employment, while decrease industrial employment with lower unemployment.
