Training, migration, and regional income disparities
Article Abstract:
Regional economic disparities are created by differences in the amount of skilled and unskilled labor. The differences in the skill-levels of workers into two contrasting economic regions causes major wage disparities and skills utilization. Workers from a less developed region are more likely to migrate to the more developed one. At some point, however, the costs of migration becomes too high preventing further migration before the wage levels in both regions reaches equilibrium.

Can state taxes redistribute income?
Article Abstract:
The fundamental theoretical assumption that state and local governments are not able to redistribute local income proved to be true. Since individuals can evade adverse taxes by transfering to locations that provide more beneficial tax conditions, a relatively adverse tax will drive the individuals to go elsewhere. Favorable taxes will lure in-migrants until their gross salary is reduced to the extent wherein there is no net edge to moving in the state.
