QUINTANA, Luis  e  SALGADO, Uberto. Internal Migration in Mexico from 1990-2010: A New Economic Geography Approach. Prob. Des [online]. 2016, vol.47, n.184, pp.137-162. ISSN 0301-7036.  https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rpd.2016.01.007.

This research is focused on explaining the drivers behind individual decisions to migrate internally in Mexico. Migration essentially arises in response to the per capita income disparities between regions; as such, these flows are directly related to the production geography in Mexico. In that sense, the New Economic Geography provides that the forces of agglomeration have a geographic impact on migration due to the economic influence of wages and employment levels, derived from the concentration of economic activity in just a few regions.

Palavras-chave : Internal migration; new economic geography; migrant laborers; gravity equation; data panel.
