Theories of Migration: A Review
Spatial Search, Migration and Regional Unemployment
The dominant explanation of spatial unemployment in the literature assumes that workers must live in an area in order to be able to access job offers. This gives rise to ‘compensating variations’ in local wages and unemployment. However, for many occupations search is clearly conducted over longer distances from a home base. In the model presented in this paper, migration and unemployment are analysed both when the optimal search field is local, …
Residence Spells and Migration: A Comparison for Men and Women
This paper models migration probabilities in a duration context, where migration may occur at the end of an observed residence spell. The analysis is based on a sample of young women in rural locations in France, and relates to their first move after leaving full-time education. We distinguish between residence spells that end in long- as compared to short-distance moves. The results for women are compared with those in an earlier analysis for me…
A Multi-stream Analysis of the Changing Pattern of Interregional Migration in Great Britain, 1960‐1991
GORDON I. and MOLHO I. (1998) A multi-stream analysis of the changing pattern of interregional migration in Great Britain, 1960-1991, Reg. Studies, 32 , 309-323. This paper uses a combination of spatial and econometric modelling techniques to investigate longer term patterns and processes of change in British interregional migration, starting from a distinction between an (employment oriented) national movement stream and a (housing and environme…
Migrant Inertia, Accessibility and Local Unemployment
A labor-market model is constructed in which migration may exhibit distance deterrence and cumulative inertia. (Migration probabilities fall with distance and length of residence, respectively.) The combination of these two processes yields higher equilibrium unemployment rates in remote areas. Fewer out-migration opportunities in remote areas generate longer residence durations that become self-perpetuating (via cumulative inertia). Such areas a…
Duration Dependence in Migration Behaviour: Cumulative Inertia versus Stochastic Change
In this paper a new theoretical framework and supporting empirical evidence on the relationship between movement probabilities and length of stay are presented. Individuals' evaluations of the relative value of alternative locations are assumed to evolve stochastically, with a possible tendency either to cumulative inertia or to cumulative stress. In general this yields a nonmonotonic duration function, with probabilities of movement starting at …
Local Wages and the Role of Unemployment
This paper sets out a model of pay setting in a spatial context. Employers in an area face upward sloping labor supply curves due to search behavior on the part of workers. They set wages with the aim of meeting recruitment targets, drawing workers from the immediate area as well as the surrounding migration hinterland. The impact of unemployment on local wages is examined in this context and it is argued that the common presumption that local em…

Patterns and Trends in Local Pay in Great Britain, 1975-76 to 1987-88
Whilst local pay differentials lie at the heart of most models of local labour markets, not enough is known about the size and trends of such differentials in Great Britain. This study is based on a new data set, derived from Inland Revenue and Department of Social Security statistics, for a 1 per cent sample of National Insurance records. The information was available at the detailed Local Labour Market Area level annually from 1975-76 to 1987-8…
An Econometric Analysis of the Growth in the Numbers Claiming Invalidity Benefit: An Overview
Invalidity benefit is the main form of state-provided long term sickness benefit in Great Britain, and the number of claims for the benefit have increased beyond all expectations since its introduction in 1971. This paper summarises the results of a project on the issue, analysing data over the period 1975/6 and 1983/4. The numbers claiming the benefit are viewed in terms of the outcome of the inflow and the duration of claims. The determination …
A Behavioural Map of Commuting Distances in the London Region
The degree of separation of areal points reflects more than pure physical distance, because other barriers to movement exist and because the strength of transport links varies. This study sets out and implements a methodology for constructing 'behavioural maps'. Commuting patterns in the London region for 1981 are analysed by using a spatial-interaction model. Rather than distances being input as data into the analysis, however, the model is inve…
Modelling Supermarket Store Locations
The purpose of this paper is to suggest a theoretical approach to modeling multiplant firm locations and to apply it to store locations of a major British supermarket chain. Choice of store location is seen as a major weapon in long-run competition between rival groups and the authors focus upon explaining that aspect of selection concerned with broad catchment areas. The theory, and the results of the Tobit estimation of the model, indicate that…

Women in the Labour Markets of the London Region: A Model of Dependence and Constraint
This paper uses a simultaneous equations model of labour and housing market relationships in the London Metropolitan region in order to illuminate some of the specific characteristics of female labour markets in an explicitly spatial context. In addition to restricted female commuting fields, two significant sets of spatial constraint were identified: firstly, the residential location of married women tended to depend on access to male, not femal…
A regional analysis of the distribution of married women's labour force participation rates in the UK
Molho I. I. (1983) An analysis of the regional distribution of married women's labour force participation rates in the UK, Reg. Studies 17, 125–134. A model analysing and conceptually simplifying the possible causes of regional variation in participation rates is constructed and contrasted with previous models of regional participation rates. The model is implemented using quarterly data for married women, derived from the Family Expenditure Surv…
