Internal Migration and Wage Differentials among Italian University Graduates

Marco Di Cintio and Emanuele Grassi

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: In this paper, we estimate wage differentials among Italian university Graduates three years after graduation due to sequential geographic mobility. By means of a matching procedure we quantify wage premia associated with the choice of studying far from home, moving after graduation and moving back home after graduation. We find evidence of large gains for those who move after graduation, little benefits for those who choose to go back home after having studied in regions different from that of origin. We also assess a “transitivity” result for the estimated treatment effects.
