Abstract
Im vorliegenden Artikel werden interregionale Migrationsflüsse innerhalb der gesamten Europäischen Union für die unmittelbar auf den Beitritt von Staaten mit relativ niedrigen Einkommensniveaus folgende Zeit untersucht. Trotz der Nichtverfügbarkeit direkter Migrationsflussdaten können räumliche Effekte interregionaler Migration gemessen und interpretiert werden. Zu diesem Zweck wird ein räumliches Modell interregionaler Migration entwickelt, das als räumlich-ökonometrische Spezifikation dem Spatial-Lag-Of-X-Modell, bzw. – bei Inklusion eines räumlichen Autokorrelationsterms – dem Spatial-Durbin-Error-Modell entspricht. Es wird gezeigt, dass ein lineares Migrationsmodell zwangsläufig zu einer Nettomigrationsfunktion führt, die auf einer spaltenstandardisierten Gewichtsmatrix basiert. Die Spezifikationen werden in weiterer Folge für 250 europäische NUTS2-Regionen für den Beobachtungszeitraum 2006–2008 geschätzt, wobei die empirischen Ergebnisse eine robuste Beziehung zwischen der Nettomigrationsquote und der relativen räumlichen Lage einer Region anzeigen. Darüber hinaus zeigen die Ergebnisse signifikante Effekte der Einkommenshöhen, der Arbeitsmarktbedingungen, des Wirtschaftswachstums, der Humankapitalausstattungen sowie temporärer Einschränkungen der Arbeitnehmerfreizügigkeit.
