Abstract
AbstractThis paper investigates the role of selective migration policies in the self‐selection of migrants, taking China's specific household registration (hukou) system as a case study. We first incorporate the hukou system into the self‐selection framework, demonstrating that it leads to a U‐shaped selection pattern of migrants from inland to coastal regions. Based on four periods of census data in China, we further employed the binary logit and conditional logit models to verify our proposed theory. The results imply that the hukou system influences migrant selection through restricting hukou‐related social amenities and distorting return to education by wage discrimination.
