For this purpose, we implement both the net and the gross (in- and out-) migration approaches. We undertake separate analyses for different categories of the migrant population to explore the impact of migrations involving different levels of human capital. The results show that internal migration flows between NUTS3 units in the observed period mainly fostered divergence, thus con- tradicting the neoclassical theory. This effect is especially pronounced when considering migrations of the active population and prime-age specialists. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/legalcode application/pdf 1996930 bytes info:eu-repo/semantics/article 2024 Barrios, Candelaria Jandrić, Maja Molnar, Dejan Tanasković, Svetozar https://phaidrabg.bg.ac.rs/o:35826 doi:10.1016/j.pirs.2024.100062 ISSN: 1056-8190
