一个普遍的假设是，在过去几十年中，先进的信息和通信技术（信通技术）的广泛采用增强了居民的流动性和迁移。这项研究从许多发达国家居民流动性和移民长期下降的角度对这一假设进行了批判性评估，并得出结论认为，信通技术既能促进也能阻碍居民流动性和移民。利用北方爱尔兰纵向研究的数据，对住宅流动和移民的工具变量模型进行的估计表明，信通技术对住宅变化产生了很大的负面影响，对移民的负面影响较小。
A common presumption is that the widespread adoption of advanced information and communication technologies (ICTs) over the last several decades enhances residential mobility and migration. This research critically evaluates this presumption from the perspective of the long-term decline in residential mobility and migration in many developed countries and concludes that ICTs are capable of both enhancing and impeding residential mobility and migration. Estimates from an instrumental variable model of residential mobility and migration using data from the Northern Ireland Longitudinal Study indicate a large negative effect of ICTs on residential change and smaller negative effect on migration.
