Description
This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis in Applied Economics Letters on 01 Nov 2022, available at https://doi.org/10.1080/13504851.2022.2139801.
Abstract
We demonstrate that intergovernmental transfers affect migration decisions. If local governments with large distributive allocations offer greater government employment, public works projects, and assistance to (small) businesses, they attract low-skilled or unemployed residents to move or stay in. We find that more allocations increase not only the share of low-income residents but also the economic disparity in the city. We exploit the major electoral reform in Japan as an instrumental variable.
