The Transformation of an Indian Labor Market: The Case of Pune
Moving in a Given Year: A Study in Research Design and Data Analysis
In this paper the distribution of the times between moves, or, equivalently, the relationship between duration of residence and the probability of moving [is examined]. Complete information on residence histories contained in the Population Register of Norway for the period 1965-1971 has been used to generate two data sets: the 'ideal' data set and the duration of residence at a specific point in time." The relationship between the probability of…
Tests of Stochastic Models of Timing in Mobility Histories: Comparison of Information Derived from Different Observation Plans
The fundamental assumption about the timing of moves in Markov, semi-Markov, and other renewal-theoretic models of residential mobility-that the intervals between moves are statistically independent-is tested using residence histories of Norwegian men, 1965-1971. The evidence strongly supports the assumption. It is shown that, given basic model parameters, predictions of duration-of-residence distributions are quite accurate; and, conversely, dur…
The Relationship between Timing of Moves and Choice of Destination in Stochastic Models of Migration
The importance of studying the relationship between the timing of moves and the choice of destination is discussed in terms of theories of migration decision processes and of methodological issues in the analysis of migration histories. Special attention is given to duration-of-residence effects. Statistical procedures based on the theory of competing risks and semi-Markov processes are developed and applied to residence histories of Norwegian me…
Stochastic Models of Residential and Geographic Mobility for Heterogeneous Populations
Methods of incorporating population heterogeneity into probability models of intermetropolitan and intrametropolitan mobility are discussed. Two models are described in detail. One allows for heterogeneous transition matrices; methods of estimating the distribution of transition matrices in the population are given. The other focuses on the propensity to move, and allows individuals to change on relevant characteristics over time, thus significan…
Critique of probabilistic models: Application of the Semi‐Markov model to migration
The role of probabilistic models, with special reference to application of the Semi‐Markov model to the analysis of internal migration, is discussed. Advantages of probabilistic models over more conventional methods based on regression analysis are detailed. Probabilistic models have stood apart from the rest of the literature, in migration as well as other areas of application, because they have no substantive content. It is argued that unless t…
Incorporating causal structure and exogenous information with probabilistic models: With special reference to choice, gravity, migration, and Markov chains
Several methods of analyzing the parameters of the Semi‐Markov model and incorporating exogeneous information about its states are presented. Regression analysis of parameter estimates and doubly stochastic processes are discussed. Theoretical models for the structure of transition matrices, based on Luce's theory of choice behavior, are derived. Gravity models of varying specificity, useful in the study of migration, are special cases. Maximum l…
Semi‐Markov processes and mobility
A stochastic model of migration, occupational and vertical mobility, based on the theory of Semi‐Markov processes, is presented and important features of these processes derived. The model is a generalization of the Markov process in which the probability of leaving a state can depend in any arbitrary way on the length of time the state has been occupied (duration‐of‐stay) and on the next state entered (pushes and pulls). For mobility processes i…
