Abstract
Equalization and progressive taxation policies, which encourage the migration of highly qualified workers within a country's regions, may actually be good for the overall country. The migration of workers from poor regions to more prosperous regions – commonly called 'brain drain' – may improve a country's economic output, provided that governments figure out how to compensate the poor regions.
