What explains the migration decisions of young adults in the prime years of their working lives, people 25-39 years old, the builders of future economies, those people historian Daniel Boorstin (1974) called the Go-Getters? Are they driven to find emerging knowledge economies where returns to their investment in human capital may be highest? Or are they more oriented toward avoiding high taxes and onerous regulation and finding greater personal freedom? Do people migrating within the United States behave like foreigners migrating to the United States? Does protection of personal freedom matter? In short, what are the knowledge and freedom determinants of migration?
