This paper is basedon the idea that the migration choices of the highly skilled are driven by the search for favourable socio-economic contexts able toensure higher income, better employment opportunities but also better institutions. By using data on a sample of 47 300 Italiangraduates, the impact of provincial institution quality on the probability of resident graduates migrating is studied.

Abstract
This paper is basedon the idea that the migration choices of the highly skilled are driven by the search for favourable socio-economic contexts able toensure higher income, better employment opportunities but also better institutions. By using data on a sample of 47 300 Italiangraduates, the impact of provincial institution quality on the probability of resident graduates migrating is studied. A Heckmanprobit estimation indicates that institutions do matter for migration decisions and their importance is comparable with that of per capita income provincial differences.File in questo prodotto:
