Economic and spatial mobility in rural Madagascar: How strong is the link?
نویسنده
چکیده
We use an original dataset from Madagascar to assess the impact of mobility on the evolution of welfare of individuals from the village of Bepako between 1995 and 2005 using a difference-indifference specification. We find that 38% of the sample has moved out of the village and that these movers have specific baseline characteristics. Using fixed effects regressions, and adding interactions for specific types of moves, we show that leaving the village has a significant positive impact on the growth of income of individuals who move. The result is robust to different specifications and dependent variables used. 1 Université Paris-Dauphine, LEDa, F-75016 Paris, France 2 IRD, UMR225-DIAL, F-75010, Paris, France, [email protected]
