Abstract
- The influence of urban externalities on migration flows has not been fully examined in the previous literature. This paper investigates whether a change in dwellings across cities is associated with a specific urban externality, crime rates, using urban-to-urban migration data at the municipal level. Gravity equation results show that migration is affected by crime rates, not only locally but also when neighbouring effects are taken into account. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
