`` `` this paper develops a theoretical model which analyzes the impact of the spatial distribution of a family 's stock of human capital on its migration decision . this stock of human capital is composed of location-specific and non-specific human capital . the distribution of location-specific capital is a function of the residential and employment history of the family , while non-specific capital is distributed evenly over space . an empirical specification of the model is derived and estimated with a [ u.s. ] data set consisting of a number of cases from the michigan panel study of income dynamics .
