This paper examines the effects of diverging economic conditions on labor migration within reunified Germany. We employ a life-cycle model with consumers' sovereignty regarding choice of location to derive estimates of labor migration in future periods. Heterogeneity of individuals is explicitly taken into account by adopting a random utility approach. Due to insufficient data on east-west migration, the results are only illustrative and have the character of 'educated guesstimates'. Within limits, our predictions can serve as rough indicators of potential future migration between Eastern and Western Europe.
