我们分析了内部劳动力迁移如何促进农村经济应对冲击。采用高精度的卫星数据，我们确定在越南的灾难性台风所产生的洪水的客观变化，并将它们与家庭面板数据之前和之后的冲击。我们发现，随着收入的大幅下降，家庭主要通过向城市地区的劳动力迁移来科普。事先有定居移民的家庭收到更多汇款。非移民家庭的反应是将新成员送走，然后这些新成员汇出的金额与现有移民相似。这一机制对长途移徙最为有效，而本地网络则无法提供保险。(JEL J61、O15、P25、P36、Q54、R23）
We analyze how internal labor migration facilitates shock coping in rural economies. Employing high-precision satellite data, we identify objective variations in the inundations generated by a catastrophic typhoon in Vietnam and match them with household panel data before and after the shock. We find that, following a massive drop in income, households cope mainly through labor migration to urban areas. Households with settled migrants ex ante receive more remittances. Nonmigrant households react by sending new members away who then remit similar amounts than established migrants. This mechanism is most effective with long-distance migration, while local networks fail to provide insurance. (JEL J61, O15, P25, P36, Q54, R23)
