Our results indicate that those Spanish regions that experienced increases in the ratio of skilled to […]

Larramona, G. (2013). Out-migration of Spanish immigrants, Population, 68(2) 213-236. Out-migration is an increasingly significant phenomenon in Spain. In the first decade of the twenty-first century, the role of Spain as a sending country changed, and it became a significant receiver of immigrants. The empirical literature, scant as it is, focuses on return migration rather than on the broader concept of international out-migration, and on international return migration from the […]

Aísa, R., J. Cabeza, G. Larramona (2014). Education and age at migration, Optimal Control, Applications and Method, DOI: 10.1002/oca.2078. We have designed a three-stage optimal control problem that endogenously determines age at migration and level of education. The combination of social and economic factors related to migration allows us to detect different patterns in the age at migration and the level of schooling. Our main finding is the negative relationship […]

Larramona, G. y M. Sanso (2014) Internal migration and Spanish regional convergence (1972-1998), International Migration, DOI: 10.1111/imig.12027. Following the results of a simple endogenous growth model, some useful conclusions are drawn from the empirical analysis of Spanish internal migrations between 1972 and 1998. Firstly, we find that there is no absolute convergence of the capital/labor ratio towards a unique value in the steady state but, rather, a persistent gap between […]
