MIGRATION DISEQUILIBRIUM AND SPECIFIC DIVISION RULES

We examine the extent to which migration equilibria fail to exist in a global economy in which a specific division rule determines the alloc ation of a perfectly divisible, nondisposable resource among individua ls with single-peaked preferences who reside in local economies. In pa rticular, almost without exception, under the egalitarian, proportiona l, queuing, and uniform division rules, migration equilibria fail to e xist for some sets of preferences.
