Abstract
"This paper suggests two new approaches to modeling job-related migration. Both approaches are designed to simultaneously capture the inertia of past flows and information pertaining to economic conditions. One approach makes use of the incremental form of the logit model, and the other models the job application and competition process. Both techniques are illustrated using interregional migration flow data for the United States, and the results are compared with other migration models." excerptKeywords: Americas; Demographic Factors; Developed Countries; Developing Countries; Economic Factors; Economic Model; Human Resources; Labor Force; Mathematical Model; Migration; Migration, Internal; Models, Theoretical; North America; Northern America; Population; Population Dynamics; Research Methodology; United States
