\r\nand poverty in Tunisia. We present a methodology combining
\r\npotential outcomes approach with multiple imputation to highlight the
\r\neffect of internal migration on poverty states. We find that probability
\r\nof being poor decreases when leaving the poorest regions (the west
\r\nareas) to the richer regions (greater Tunis and the east regions).","references":"[1] B. Barham and S.
