4/ We also discuss broader political implications: 🔹 As opportunity concentrates, high-opportunity regions accumulate progressive potential. 🔹 Meanwhile, outmigration may deepen grievances in low-opportunity regions.

2/ Our key finding: 🖍️ Moving into high-opportunity regions leads to stronger political integration, more left-leaning self-identification, and lower support for far-right parties. ❗ Crucially, relocation itself does not explain these patterns – only moves to opportunity-rich areas do.
