| dc.description.abstract | We show that the length of compulsory education has a causal impact on regional
labour mobility. The analysis is based on a quasi-exogenous staged Norwegian school
reform, and register data on the whole population. Based on the results, we conclude
that part of the US-Europe difference, as well as the European North-South difference
in labour mobility, is likely to be due to differences in levels of education in the
respective regions. | en |
