Zusammenfassung:The paper examines the effects of local fiscal variables and local economic conditions on exit decisions of Norwegian households. The study takes advantage of a unique survey data set in which respondents evaluate a range of local amenities and report whether they intend to relocate.

The estimated effects of personal unemployment, local unemployment and local wages on migration plans to become weaker when amenity variables are included, indicating that civilization of amenities cannot explain weak effects of local economic conditions on migration in Europe.
