Institutional Trust and Migration Intentions

Summary/Abstract: This paper investigates the individual level determinants of migration intentions. We argue that besides classical factors proposed by human capital theory, institutional trust is another influencing factor of migration. If people do not trust that institutions fulfil their role in decreasing uncertainty, they tend to formulate an intent to emigrate. This hypothesis is tested on individual Eurobarometer data by a logit model. Our results show that institutions and institutional trust play a substantial role in shaping migration processes.
