Abstract: Abstract We analyze choice behavior of lagging region’s high school graduates on locations of university and employment, by using a bivariate probit model with sample selection. This finds that the job security and the R&D investments have much significant effects on the decision to find jobs to the lagging regions for employment compared with the wage level and the job opportunity. In addition, the probability of return migration to the lagging regions could increase with a degree of closeness to the family and hometown.
