Abstract
We document estimation results related to semi-log econometric models for scaled net domestic
migration and commuting using panel data for 89 economic regions in Norway for the period 2001-
2014. We study separately four educational groups. Net migration and commuting are scaled by
relevant population variables. For both type of response variables, we include three incentive
variables on the log scale corresponding to a relative real hourly wage variable, a relative difference
in unemployment rates and a relative difference in employment rates. The equations are estimated
with OLS using dummy variables for the different economic regions. The main attention is on the
effects of a marginal change in the real wage variable. For individuals with low and vocational
education we find that the relative real wage variable enters significantly, whereas mainly no
significant effects are found for the two groups with high education.
