This study examines differences in migration behavior between depressed and non-depressed regions. The analysis is motivated by the literature which reported a lower propensity of mobility for the people from depressed regions and by the failure of migration to endure that income converges between regions over time. The study uses individual data from the youth cohort of the National Longitudinal Survey (NLS) and develops a synthesis model of migration. The central premise of the models is a systematic differentiation between the people of depressed and non-depressed region to location specific and non-location specific human capital location preference, contextual factors, and overall behavior.
