Summary of Empirical Studies of Interregional Mobility in Central Europe and the Baltic Region; ReferencesLarge regional disparities in labor market indicators exist in Central Europe and the Baltic region. Such disparities appear to be persistent over time indicating, in part, a lack of flexibility in the prevailing adjustment mechanisms. Internal labor mobility is often seen as an important instrument to reduce adjustment costs when other mechanisms fail. Drawing from a variety of data sources and utilizing a common empirical framework and estimation strategy, this study identifies patterns and statistical profiles of geographical mobility. It finds internal migration to be generalily low and hiWorld Bank working paper ;no. 105.Labor mobilityEurope, CentralLabor mobilityBaltic StatesMigration, InternalEurope, CentralMigration, InternalBaltic StatesElectronic books.Labor mobilityLabor mobilityMigration, InternalMigration, Internal331.1270943Paci Pierella1957-907936MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910451633803321Internal labor mobility in Central Europe and the Baltic Region2265900UNINA
