A Conditional Logit Approach to U.S. State‐to‐State Migration
This paper uses a conditional logit approach to study interstate migration in the United States for each of eleven years, from 1986–1987 to 1996–1997. We test substantive hypotheses regarding migration in the United States and demonstrate the richness of the conditional logit approach in studies of place‐to‐place migration. We investigate migration responses to relative economic opportunities (unemployment rate, per capita income) and the associa…
Legal U.S. Immigration
Bartik, was patient beyond the call as we struggled to develop and organize the massive data set that underlies our empirical work and to prepare the econometric software necessary to estimate the models.Donald M. Waldman actually wrote this software.Without his assistance we could not have used our preferred econometric technique.Steven Zahniser
Legal U.S. Immigration
The authors develop empirical models that enable them to examine the influence of two important determinants - source country characteristics and U.S. immigration policy - on the gender, age, and skills of immigrants coming to America

Geographically Indirect Immigration to Canada
Geographically Indirect Immigration to Canada
This article is concerned with geographically indirect immigration to Canada over the period 1968–1988. A geographically indirect immigrant is an individual legally admitted to Canada whose country of last permanent residence differs from country of birth. Records maintained by Employment and Immigration Canada on every immigrant legally admitted over the period were used in the study. Relative to geographically direct immigrants, geographically …
Potential Channels of Immigrant Influence on the Economy of the Receiving Country
The Dynamics of U.S. Internal Migration
In this paper the authors have theoretically derived a net migration equation and estimated it using time-series data for 51 regions over the period 1971-88. The results indicate that the dynamic response of net migration is stable and is significantly related to stock equilibrium changes induced by amenity differentials, relative employment opportunities, relative real wages, and industry composition. Moreover, the explicit linkage of stock equi…

Temporal and Spatial Patterns of Geographically Indirect Immigration to the United States
This article examines the little-studied phenomenon of indirect geographic migration to the United States, or the movement of persons whose country of last permanent residence differed from their country of birth. Over 8 million records of legal immigrants to the United States were studied for the period 1972–1987. Geographically indirect migration is shown to be important, amounting to as many as 86,136 persons during a single year. Primarily be…
Forecasting State and Local Population Growth with Limited Data
Long-term forecasts of state and local population are required for a variety of reasons, but frequently these forecasts or projections are not tied to economic activity, and the migration component of population change is commonly treated in an unsatisfactory fashion. In this paper, growth of state and local population is related to the area's net natural increase and to its net migration, which must be inferred because of lack of data. In turn, …

Jobs versus amenities in the analysis of metropolitan migration
Intertemporal and Intersectoral Aspects of Income and Distribution in Mexico
During the post World War II years and through the 1960s, the Mexican economy underwent strong and sustained growth that was accompanied by internal and external stability. This expansion was fueled by major increases in agricultural production, by industrializa? tion caused by import substitution, and by an active government policy of investment in infrastructure. [Reynolds, 1970] From 1960 to 1970 real gross domestic product grew at an average …
Human Migration
A general review of studies on internal migration within the United States since 1970 is presented. The author first describes the changes that have occurred during the recent past in U.S. internal migration patterns. The state of knowledge concerning these changes is also assessed. A more abstract discussion of the determinants of migration, covering both the theoretical and empirical literature, is then presented. Next, the empirical findings a…

Simultaneity bias in migration models
A number of migration studies have attempted to explain migration that occurred over a given time interval by means of variables defined for the end of the period and/or variables relating to changes that occurred over the period. Since migration may influence end-of-period levels of explanatory variables by influencing the behavior of these variables over the period of migration, simultaneous-equations bias may be inherent in the parameter estim…
Urban Economic Growth and Migration
The objectives of this study are twofold. Firstly, a simultaneous-equations model that takes into account the interaction between various economic aspects of urban growth, and migration to and from urban areas is specified. Secondly, the model is estimated for the 100 largest Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas in the United States. Among the jointly dependent variables utilized are civilian labor force outmigration, civilian labor force inmi…
A comparison of the determinants of white and nonwhite interstate migration
The primary objective of this study is to present an explanation of the interstate migratory movements of white and nonwhite persons which occurred over the period 1955–1960. The study is similar to several other recent studies in that we estimate the magnitudes in which various factors have influenced interstate or interregional migration in the United States. It differs from earlier studies in two important respects. First, we estimate and comp…
Immigration quotas, World War I, and emigrant flows from the United States in the early 20th century
The determinants of migration between standard metropolitan statistical areas
The primary purpose of this paper is to analyze the “determinants” of migration between Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas (SMSA’s) in the United States. The magnitudes in which various factors have influenced inter-SMSA migration are estimated both for the country as a whole and for individual SMSA’s. The “migration elasticities” estimated for individual SMSA’s are in turn used to test several additional hypotheses concerning migrant behavi…

Long-Term Trends in Migratory Behavior in A Developing Country
Comparable lifetime migration relationships are estimated for Mexico for 1950, 1960, and 1970. Moreover, migration flows from each state to every other state are separately examined for each year. A number of significant changes over time are evident in the responsiveness of Mexican internal migrants to various socioeconomic stimuli, and appreciable differences are also evident across space. Moreover, a threshold is observed such that up to about…

An Analysis of the Determinants of Geographic Labor Mobility in the United States
HE objective of this study is to estimate T the magnitudes in which each of several factors influenced interstate migration over the period 1955-1960. Several variables were chosen which might reasonably be expected to explain the movements which occurred, and multiple regression analysis was used on the data. The most unique explanatory variable employed is the stock, i.e., the number of persons born in state i (the origin state) and living in s…

Crime Rates and Public Expenditures for Police Protection
Gary Becker's suggestive work on crime leads to the prediction that increased police protection results in decreased crime rates by increasing the cost of crime to the perpetrator. However, certain recent studies that have attempted to explain crime rates using cross-sectional data for the United States have arrived at the unanticipated result that increased police protection results in increased measured crime rates. One pro? posed explanation f…

Reply to Davanzo
In her comment on my paper (1975b), Julie DaVanzo raises a number of questions, many of which she could have resolved by examining the paper I referred to as containing a detailed discussion of the simultaneous-equations system from which the equations of model (3) are drawn (see Greenwood, 1975a). With a minimum of effort, she could have determined which variables are treated as endogenous and which are predetermined in the equations that are es…

Metropolitan Growth and the Intrametropolitan Location of Employment, Housing, and Labor Force
The present study recognizes that households might change location not only in response to changes in workplace but also in response to changes in housing supply conditions. Furthermore it recognizes that household location decisions might in turn influence the distribution of employment and housing across metropolitan space. The study thus develops a simultaneous-equations model of urban growth and intraurban location that treats housing employm…
