35. This hypothesis is analogous to a classic model of human rural-to-urban migration patterns. Todaro studies the question of why rural people in developing countries migrate to cities despite very high (over 50%) unemployment in the urban areas. He notes two mutually reinforcing phenomena. First was that wages were much higher in urban settings than in rural settings; hence, even with very high unemployment, the average wage of a person who migrated was higher than that of a person who stayed in the rural area. Second was that people who migrated to the cities often used all their resources for the one-way trip. Failing to find a job, they could not afford the travel cost of going back to their place of birth. For more detail, see Michael P. Todaro, Internal Migration in Developing Countries: A Review of Theory, Evidence, Methodology and Research Priorities (Geneva: International Labor Organisation, 1976).
