Abstract

The brief's key findings are: (1) Individuals who move generally go to places with the best mix of amenities, including low tax rates and a robust economy. (2) An open question is whether a state's unfunded pension liabilities could also affect moving decisions. (3) While movers generally know little about a state's pension finances, critical news stories could signal poor fiscal management. (4) The analysis finds that, in addition to traditional factors, a state's pension funding does play a role, albeit small.
