Abstract
In this study, we examine the determinants of college student migration based on a sample of 50 states in 1992. Major findings show that the net migration rate of college students is negatively correlated with per capita personal income, tax burdens, and crime rates, but positively associated with the number of colleges and universities, expenditure per student, educational level of the population, and growth rate of employment. Past migration also significantly affects current migration. The unemployment rate and the wage rate in manufacturing are found to be insignificant.
Highlights
In recent years extensive research on migration has been prominent in the economics literature
This paper extends the work of Tuckman (1970), Mixon and Hsing (1994a, 1994b) and others to examine the migration of college students, but differs from previous studies of college student migration in several aspects
Data for NET, TUIT, NUM, and Expenditure per student (EXP) came from the Digest of Education Statistics, National Center for Education Statistics, U.S Department of Education
