Abstract

This paper surveys theoretical models of migration decision-making. It considers more or less chronologically: the gravity model, the human capital model, expected income, the two-sector model, family decision-making, information and networks, search models, and return migration. It is followed by a general expected utility decision-making framework within which the earlier models are situated.
