Abstract

This article aims to test the hypothesis of positive intermunicipal migration selection in the Central-West region of Brazil. As an empirical approach, an econometric model is estimated from Heckman’s sample selection method using the intermunicipal migration data obtained by the Demographic Census of Brazil in 2000 and 2010. The results show that the intermunicipal migrant from the Central-West region of Brazil is positively selected and that the unobservable productive characteristics affect migration decision.
