We estimate the aggregate productivity gains from reducing barriers to internal labor migration in Indonesia, accounting for worker selection and spatial differences in human capital. We distinguish between movement costs, which mean workers will only move if they expect higher wages, and amenity differences, which mean some locations must pay more to attract workers. We find modest but important aggregate impacts. We estimate a 22% increase in labor productivity from removing all barriers. Reducing migration costs to the US level, a high mobility benchmark, leads to an 8% productivity boost. These figures hides substantial heterogeneity. The origin population that benefits most sees an 104% increase in average earnings from a complete barrier removal, or a 37% increase from moving to the US benchmark.

This dissertation studies how internal migration and labor mobility shape labor productivity in different contexts. In the first chapter, with Daniel Lopes and Leonardo Monasterio, I investigate how descendants of immigrants have spread the impacts of historical immigration in Brazil. I apply a surname-based classification of ancestries to a rich linked employer-employee dataset covering every worker in the formal sector in Brazil in 2004-2017. With this classification algorithm, I identify descendants of historical immigrants in Brazil today and investigate how their concentration in labor markets-especially those along the country's agricultural frontier-affects the wages of descendants and non-descendants. I find evidence of positive labor spillovers: wages are 1-2% higher for each additional percentage point in my measure of the concentration of descendants. These results are in accord with a model in which descendants and non-descendants have complementary skills in the production function of the firms, particularly those in the agricultural sector. In the second chapter, with Marieke Kleemans and Emilia Tjernström, I investigate how self-selection combined with observed and unobserved characteristics of individuals explains heterogeneity in the returns to rural-urban migration and sectoral mobility in Indonesia. I use the IFLS dataset and recent developments in econometrics to estimate returns for different types of movers. With additional assumptions on the type of self-selection, I also estimate average returns for non-movers. Results show little heterogeneity and small returns in earnings to rural-urban migration but larger and more heterogenous returns to switching from agricultural to non-agricultural sectors, particularly for non-movers. Finally, in the third paper, I investigate the components of the wage premium of current and return migrants within Brazil. My estimates of the migrant wage premia range from 5% to 12%. I use cross-sectional and longitudinal data in different regression specifications and subsamples to investigate the role of self-selection, location-specific effects, and learning on these wage premia. My results suggest that the self-selection of internal migrants in Brazil is based more on absolute advantage (migrants earn more in any location) than comparative advantage (migrants earn more in a specific location).

The aggregate economy relies on the allocation of resources to their most productive use. One important resource in the aggregate economy is labor, which is reallocated through individual migration. In this dissertation, I investigate what causes migration, as well as labor reallocation more broadly, and the effect of this migration on the economy as a whole. In the first paper of my dissertation, I show that negative house price shocks cause homeowners unable to move to better labor markets due to equity constraints. I find that a 10% decrease in house prices causes homeowners to be 33% less likely to move. I calculate how this constraint on mobility affected the aggregate unemployment rate, and find that it can explain up to 7% of the increase in the unemployment rate in the Great Recession. In the second paper, coauthored with Michel Grosz and Ann Stevens, we measure how labor demand shocks cause individuals to exit the labor force. We estimate the effect of mass layoffs on the change in the size of the local labor force, decomposing this change into four channels: migration, disability insurance enrollment, retirement, or non-participation. The first three channels explain two-thirds of the change in the labor force following a mass layoff, and non-participation was a much more prominent channel in the most recent recession. We discuss the implications of this finding for future output growth and labor market efficiency. Finally, in the third paper, I estimate how individuals react to changes in crime rates in their county. In order to estimate this effect, I measure the effect of crime changes on migration, and I decompose net migration into in- and out-migration, within or outside of the metropolitan area. I find much smaller effects on migration out of the metropolitan area, and insignificant effects on other margins of migration. These results are much smaller that previous estimates, and suggest that the costs of crime in terms of labor allocation are much lower than previously estimated.
