Abstract
Presents a microsimulation model that will effectively show the impact on a system of regional industrial economies of the assumed relationship between the mobility of capital, in the form of job openings, and the mobility of labour, as represented by worker migration. Within the framework of a simulated multi-regional economy, modelling labour migration in the absence of any recognition of the role of capital mobility produces dramatically different results when compared to an economy in which the two sides of the market respond to each other's actions. Similar results are obtained when capital migrates and labour is stationary, and when both sides migrate but with differential mobility. -from Author
