In this article, we review the internal geographic mobility of immigrants and natives in the United States in the recent decades, with a focus on the period since 2000. We confirm a continuing secular decline in mobility already pointed out by the existing literature, and we show that it persisted in the post great recession period. We then focus on foreign-born and establish that, on average, they did not have total mobility rates higher than that of natives. However, their mobility response to local economic conditions was stronger than the response of natives in the period from 1980 to 2017. A review of recent research reveals that the higher elasticity of mobility of immigrants to economic conditions is a combination of lower sensitivity to local prices, higher propensity to move in the early years after immigration, and strong economic success of cities that were immigrant enclaves in the 1980s.

内部流动性：外国对经济状况的更大反应

在本文中，我们回顾了近几十年来美国移民和原住民的内部地理流动性，重点是2000年以来的时期。我们确认现有文献已经指出流动性持续下降，并且我们表明它在后大衰退时期持续存在。然后，我们关注出生​​于外国的人，并确定他们的总体流动率平均没有高于当地人。然而，在1980年至2017年期间，他们对当地经济条件的流动性反应要强于当地人。对近期研究的回顾表明，移民对经济条件的流动性弹性较高是对当地价格敏感度较低的综合原因，在移民后的最初几年里迁徙的可能性更高，
