Resumen : | This study explores the effect of the expansion of mobile phone signal on migration
decisions in Myanmar. The empirical strategy proposed follows Manacorda and Tesei
(2019) and Andersen et al. (2011), it uses variation in lightning frequency across space
as an instrumental variable for the expansion of mobile phone signal. Our results
suggest that longer exposure to mobile phone network decreases migration. Specifically, an increase of 1 s.d. in the time exposed to mobile phone signal diminishes the
probability of household members to migrate by 17%. We find empirical evidence
suggesting that such findings are driven by the positive effects of access This study explores the effect of the expansion of mobile phone signal on migration decisions in Myanmar.
