Migration and commuting: evidence from Recife metropolitan area in Brazil
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.1590/0101-416146483hrdbKeywords:
Commuting, Recife’s Metropolitan Region, Self-selection in migration flowsAbstract
The aim of this paper is to investigate the relationship between commuting and labor
migration in the Recife Metropolitan Area (RMR), Brazil. We use data from Demographic
Census of 2010 to estimate a copula-based model of intrametropolitan commuting
which takes accounting self-selection of migration. Our finds suggest that changing
in residence and work places are complements in the metropolitan area. This evidence
reinforces the role of the urban decentralization process in the commuting. In addition,
the results showed that a migrant worker has on average 47.7 points more in
probability of working in another city than a worker who have never moved from its
city of birth. We also observe a downward bias in the estimates when we ignore the
self-select ion in migration.
