| Title: | | Integration, mobility, and human capital formation  |
| Authors: | | Haupt, Alexander Uebelmesser, Silke |
| Issue Date: | | 2010 |
| Series/Report no.: | | CESifo working paper: Labour Markets 3190 |
| Abstract: | | In this note, we show that labour market integration can be a double-edged sword. In the presence of local human capital externalities, integration and the ensuing agglomeration of skilled labour can cause a decline in human capital and the total wage sum (net of education costs). In particular, integration depresses the incentives for some talented but immobile individuals to become skilled. |
