The high outward mobility that characterises the countries in the Western Balkan region—already for three decades—is often seen as tightly linked to labour market imbalances and persistently low utilisation of human capital over time. To shed light on these issues we analysed the effects of labour market determinants and human capital endowment on migration and vice versa by estimating simultaneously a system of equations that accounted for such relationships in the context of WB countries. The period under analysis is 2007–2019 and the destination countries are the EU15. The empirical results confirm the importance of wage gaps and their changes as an important pull factor for driving emigration. In addition, gaps in human capital emerge as a powerful determinant for explaining emigration into countries where returns to human capital are relatively higher.

西巴尔干地区人力资本、移民和劳动力市场之间的基本关系:计量经济学调查

西巴尔干地区国家的高度外向流动性——已经持续了 30 年——通常被视为与劳动力市场失衡和长期人力资本利用率持续低下密切相关。为了阐明这些问题,我们分析了劳动力市场决定因素和人力资本禀赋对移民的影响,反之亦然,同时估计了一个方程组,该方程组在世界银行国家的背景下解释了这种关系。分析期间为 2007-2019 年,目的地国家为欧盟 15 国。实证结果证实了工资差距及其变化作为推动移民的重要拉动因素的重要性。此外,
