Abstract
The present paper analyzes the out-migration of graduates to other German states or abroad based on the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP). Our duration analysis shows that the decision to out-migrate is mostly a matter of socio-economic variables than of state specific economic conditions. The longer the graduates stay in their state of study, the lower will be the propensity to leave. On the contrary, nonresident students seem to exhibit a significantly higher probability to out-migrate after graduation.
