本研究探讨了移民在多大程度上促进了坦桑尼亚个人生活水平的提高。通过一项为期 13 年的追踪调查，我们发现 1991 年至 2004 年间，移民使消费增长增加了 36 个百分点。尽管离开农业会比留在农业中带来更高的增长，但如果个人实际搬迁，任何部门的增长总是会更高。至于为什么考虑到地理流动的高回报，更多的人不迁移，分析发现证据与原籍社区设置的退出壁垒阻止某些类别的人迁移的模型一致。
This study explores to what extent migration has contributed to improved living standards of individuals in Tanzania. Using a thirteen-year panel survey, we find that migration between 1991 and 2004 added 36 percentage points to consumption growth. Although moving out of agriculture resulted in much higher growth than staying in agriculture, growth was always greater in any sector if the individual physically moved. As to why more people do not move given the high returns to geographical mobility, analysis finds evidence consistent with models in which exit barriers set by home communities prevent the migration of some categories of people.
