Small Area Modeling of the Industrial Sector (Samis)
Industry modeling and analysis are vital to regional policymaking. However, the most effective empirical techniques-econometric and input-output-often produce contrary results. This paper is a summary of a new modeling methodology that attempts a reconciliation. Called I-SAMIS, the new approach integrates the flexibility and macro-orientation features of the time-series econometric technique together with the interindustry sensitivity of input-ou…
The structure of a large-scale small-area multiregional model of California
Ballard K. P. (1983) The structure of a large-scale small-area multiregional model of California: modelling an integrated system of urban, suburban and rural growth, Reg. Studies 17, 327–338. Spatial theories normally agree that, conceptually, a regional system is a hierarchical composite of different types of areas. To date, however, most modelling efforts have ignored this issue. The objective of this paper is to present and discuss a new type …
The short-run dynamics of inter-state migration
Interregional migration is analyzed with respect to its short-run responsiveness to economic fluctuations and its efficiency as a spatial labour market allocation mechanism. Using a space-time analytical framework, in-migration to four fast growing States of the United States is analyzed over the period 1958-1975. It is shown via a time-series model, employing a Koyck-distributed lag methodology, that short-run in-migration is in fact responsive …
The Demand and Supply of Labor and Interstate Relative Wages
The impact of labor on interstate wage relativities are analyzed in this paper. Migration, unemployment, and employment growth related variables are integrated into a short- and long-run time-series model of relative wage determination. It is found that in and out gross migration may increase or decrease relative wages as may employment growth. As expected, increasing unemployment tends to induce decreases in average relative wages. The model is …
Modeling out-Migration from Depressed Regions
Many migration models, whether derived from the Hicksian macroadjustment approach or from human capital theory, use simultaneously origin and destination variables in their empirical testing procedures. In this paper it is hypothesized that the actual out-migration decision process has two separate but interrelated stages-the decision to leave and the decision as to the destination. A two-stage estimation procedure is used to analyze the signific…
