    "abstract": "The Harris-Todaro model of the rural-urban migration process is revisited\nunder an agent-based approach. The migration of the workers is interpreted as a\nprocess of social learning by imitation, formalized by a computational model.\nBy simulating this model, we observe a transitional dynamics with continuous\ngrowth of the urban fraction of overall population toward an equilibrium. Such\nan equilibrium is characterized by stabilization of rural-urban expected wages\ndifferential (generalized Harris-Todaro equilibrium condition), urban\nconcentration and urban unemployment. These classic results obtained originally\nby Harris and Todaro are emergent properties of our model.",
