Comparing migrants to non-migrants: The case of Dutch migration to New Zealand

Joop Hartog and Rainer Winkelmann

Journal of Population Economics, 2003, vol. 16, issue 4, 683-705

Abstract: We analyse post-war Dutch migration to New Zealand. We document that history, reflect on analytical and econometric modelling and then combine a sample of Dutch migrants in New Zealand with a representative sample of Dutch in The Netherlands to estimate wage equations and the determinants of the migration decision. We use the results for ex post evaluation of the migration decision. Copyright Springer-Verlag 2003
