摘要：The aim of this paper is to develop a dynamic model of migrations, in which migration is
driven by size asymmetries between countries and by the relative preferences of consumers
between private consumption and consumption of public goods. The dynamic tra jectories
heavily depend on the degree of attractiveness for public goods We show that monotone
migrations require sufficiently strong preferences for public goods, and can only be sustained
from the small to the large countries. We identify the threshold value of the public goods¡¯
intensity of preferences guaranteeing the survival of the small country. For weaker preference
intensities, oscillating migrations may arise, but they finally converge to situation where both
countries are of equal size.
