Consistent with the prediction of a simple theoretical model, the results reveal a larger negative impact than the one documented for developed countries. They further show that this negative impact is significantly stronger in Ugandan regions with lower road density and therefore less conducive to capital mobility: a 10 percentage points increase in the net in-migration rate in these areas decreases the probability of being employed of non-migrants by more than 10 percentage points.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO TRANSPORTATIONADJUSTMENT PROCESSAGGLOMERATION ECONOMIESBULLETINCAPACITY BUILDINGCAPITAL MOBILITYCHANCE OF SURVIVALCIVIL CONFLICTCLIMATE CHANGECLIMATIC CHANGECONGESTIONCONSUMPTION SMOOTHINGCOUNTRY COMPARISONSCROPLANDCROSS-SECTIONAL DATACULTURAL CHANGEDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPMENT OF REGIONDEVELOPMENT POLICYECONOMIC CONDITIONSECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC MOBILITYECONOMIC SHOCKSECONOMIC SURVEYSELASTICITIESELASTICITYEMPLOYMENT EFFECTSEMPLOYMENT OUTCOMESEMPLOYMENT PROBABILITYEMPLOYMENT STATUSENTRY COSTSENVIRONMENTAL ECONOMICSEXCLUSION RESTRICTIONEXTERNALITIESFARMERSFIRM PRODUCTIVITYFOOD CONSUMPTIONFOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTFREIGHTHIGHWAYHIGHWAYSHOST COUNTRYHUMAN ACTIVITYHUMAN RESOURCESIMMIGRANTIMMIGRANTSIMMIGRATIONIMPACT OF MIGRATIONINDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENTINFORMAL SECTORINFORMATION SYSTEMINFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENTINSURANCEINTERNAL MIGRATIONINTERNATIONAL MIGRANTSINTERNATIONAL MIGRATIONINTERNATIONAL TRADEINTERSTATE HIGHWAY SYSTEMJOB OPPORTUNITIESJOB SEARCHJOB-SEEKERSLABOR ECONOMICSLABOR FORCELABOR MARKETLABOR MARKET IMPACTLABOR MARKET OUTCOMESLABOR MARKETSLABOR RELATIONSLABOR SUPPLYLABOURLABOUR MARKETLABOUR MARKET INSTITUTIONSLABOUR MARKETSLOCAL LABOR MARKETLOCAL LABOR MARKETSLOW-INCOME COUNTRYMANUFACTURING INDUSTRYMIGRANTMIGRANTSMIGRATION FLOWMIGRATION FLOWSMORTALITYMUNICIPALITIESNUMBER OF MIGRANTSOCCUPATIONPLACE OF RESIDENCEPOLICY DISCUSSIONSPOLICY IMPLICATIONSPOLICY RESEARCHPOLICY RESEARCH WORKING PAPERPOPULATION MOVEMENTSPOPULATION SIZEPRIMARY SCHOOLPRODUCTION FUNCTIONPRODUCTIVITYPROGRESSPULL FACTORSRAILROADSREAL WAGEREGIONAL AVERAGESREGIONAL BREAKDOWNREGIONAL CHARACTERISTICSREGIONAL DIFFERENCESREGIONAL DISTRIBUTIONREGIONAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTREGIONAL LEVELREGIONAL SCIENCEREGIONAL STUDIESREGIONAL VARIATIONSREMITTANCESRESPECTROAD INFRASTRUCTUREROAD NETWORKROAD TRANSPORTROADSROUTERURAL AREARURAL AREASRURAL INFRASTRUCTURERURAL ROADSMALL ENTERPRISESSTATISTICAL ESTIMATIONTRANSACTION COSTSTRANSPORTTRANSPORT COSTSTRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURETRANSPORTATIONTRANSPORTATION COSTSTRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURETRANSPORTATION STATISTICSUNEMPLOYEDUNEMPLOYED PERSONSUNEMPLOYMENTUNEMPLOYMENT RATEURBAN AREASURBAN GROWTHURBAN MIGRATIONURBANIZATIONWAGE EFFECTSWAGE IMPACTWAGESWORKERWORKERSWorld Bank10.1596/1813-9450-6600
