在过去，许多人是“不自由”的，因为他们的行动受到限制，未经许可的向外移民被视为并记录为“逃跑”。尽管这种逃亡在过去很常见，但历史研究大多忽视了这种形式的移民。本文利用世纪中国东北、韩国东南和日本东北三个相邻的非自由人口的大规模面板数据，考察了历史上东亚地区的逃跑行为，重点考察了家庭环境和个人特征对逃跑机会的影响。我们不仅发现了相似的时间、空间和年龄逃离模式，而且发现了相似的逃离机会与家庭环境之间的关联模式。特别是，家庭中有受抚养的儿童和老人，使个人不太可能逃跑。其他交往模式也突出了性别和社会阶层的重要性。尽管这三个东亚人群在政治，社会和社区背景方面存在显着差异，但我们的实证比较表明，在对他人义务的共同理解所驱动的动机方面存在重要的共性。
In the past, many people were ‘unfree’ in the sense that their movement was restricted, and out-migration without permission was regarded and recorded as ‘escape.’ Even though such escape was common in the past, historical studies mostly neglect this form of migration. This paper examines escape in historical East Asia, focusing on the influence of household context and individual characteristics on the chances of escape, taking advantage of large-scale individual panel datasets from three adjacent unfree populations from northeast China, southeast Korea and northeast Japan in the 18th and 19th century. We not only find similar temporal, spatial, and age patterns of escape, but also similar patterns of associations between chances of escape and household context. In particular, the presence of dependent children and elderly in the household makes individuals less likely to escape. Other patterns of association also highlight the importance of gender and social class. Despite significant differences in political, social, and community context across these three East Asian populations, our empirical comparisons suggest important commonalities in terms of motivation driven by shared understandings of obligation to others.
