[The influence of politically determined wage rates on migration between Germany's new and old states]. 
"This paper investigates the influence of politically determined wage rates on migration between Germany's new and old states.  Apart from their direct influence on expected income and hence on migration, nominal wages affect migration indirectly by the unemployment they generate.  Under reasonable assumptions the relation between nominal wages and migration is negative.  The long-run influence of wages on capital accumulation and hence employment opportunities emphasizes that wage policy can be used either to control the long-run population stock or to stop migration immediately.  That latter requires instantaneous wage-rate adjustments and initial wage-rate undershooting." ( SUMMARY IN ENG)
