| Abstract: | A labour-markets model is constructed in which migration may exhibit "distance deterrence" and "cumulative inertia". The combination of these two processes yields higher equilibrium unemployment rate in remote areas. Fewer out-migration opportunities in remote areas generate longer residence durations which become self-perpetuating (via cumulative inertia). Such areas accumulate net in-migrants until the local unemployment rate rises sufficiently to balance inflows and outflows. |
