Abstract: Both micro and macro-economic determinants of inter-regional mobility in France are examined for a cohort of recently graduated students over a five-year period (2004-2009). The micro-econometric analysis uses Probit models to explain the probability that individuals will migrate, either temporarily, or permanently. Furthermore, the implications of inter-regional mobility for eventual wage premiums, or penalties, are assessed with a highlight of the potential role of self-selection. The empirical findings indicate that educational attainment influences job offers directly, as well as, indirectly, through heightened mobility. Following this approach, previous studies tend to underestimate (overestimate) the returns to mobility (investment in human capital). Finally, an analysis of imputed monetary inflows points to pronounced inter-regional imbalances resulting from migration.
