Abstract
"The analysis of 1988-1994 statistical data indicates that the population of Israel simultaneously moves in two opposite directions: while the initial distribution of new immigrants is primarily focused on the areas where jobs are available, the existing population of these areas tends to move outward, to the less populated districts where housing is more available and affordable. The paper thus argues that the heterogeneity of the population is indeed a crucial consideration for the proper modeling of migration behavior." excerptKeywords: Asia; Demographic Factors; Destination--determinants; Developed Countries; Economic Factors; Employment; Geographic Factors; Heterogeneity; Housing; Immigrants; Israel; Macroeconomic Factors; Mediterranean Countries; Migrants; Migration; Migration, Internal; Population; Population Characteristics; Population Dynamics; Residence Characteristics; Spatial Distribution--determinants; Western Asia
