The
authors attempt to develop a game theoretical foundation of the
household decision-making process with regard to migration, and to
study the effects of varying exogenous parameters on the outcome. A
general model of the household migration decision and the game
theoretical solution is presented first. A more restricted model is
formulated in order "to obtain more detailed results concerning the
effects of altering the basic economic parameters (price and income
proportions) on the household migration decision....[The authors then
introduce] specific utility functions of the Cobb-Douglas type: this
enables us to deduce hypotheses about the household migration decision
which would be empirically testable."

"The main deficiency of
the current literature on the determinants of migration is the large
gap between theoretical analyses and empirical applications. If no
direct link is established between a theoretical model and its
empirical specification, the empirical results cannot validate the
model. This paper develops a version of the human capital model of
migration which permits empirical specification. The human capital
model presented incorporates two important concepts from migration
theory: (1) an index of characteristics that uniquely define a
specific location; and (2) location-specific human capital. The
empirical model is estimated with a data set consisting of a number of
cases from the Michigan [United States] Panel Study of Income Dynamics
(PSID) survey."

that their relative significance has varied considerably through time

regional effects of overseas migration. The migration component of
Auckland's growth has become smaller relative to natural increase, but
remains large compared to most other regions. Overseas migration is a

towards infusing event-history analysis into multiregional demography,
this paper introduces a semi-Markovian framework and outlines its

Specifically, what differentiates the former from the latter is an
explicit consideration of duration-dependence in migrating from one
region to another....The underlying concepts of a semi-Markov process
in the special case of time-homogeneity or age-independence of
transition probabilities are given in a coherent and concise form.
Illustrations of empirical applications to the event-history data on
migration as provided by the Korean National Migration Survey conducted
in 1983, and of distinct features of the semi-Markovian analysis
through a parametrization of the basic probabilities are also given in

The results support the human ecological perspective. Communities
highly dependent on agriculture had lower net in-migration rates during
the two periods than those relying more heavily on manufacturing and
certain service activities. The communities' sustenance activities are
useful in explaining local net migration rates, even after the
sustenance activities of the surrounding areas have been taken into

"This paper constitutes an attempt to tie some loose ends in the
theoretical and empirical literature on migration and remigration. I
show that the assumptions needed for justifying remigrations as
corrective steps in a sequential model are rather restrictive. I then
propose an alternative in which the remigration option is entertained
as a possibility at the time of the initial migration decision. I
offer a statistical formulation which relies on this conceptualization
and allows for a formal test of the interdependence between the initial
and subsequent migration decisions. I address various methodological
issues that arise in implementing the theory. Finally, I put the theory
and the statistical method to use on a rich micro data set from
Turkey."

from the bills of mortality for the city of Philadelphia....[The author

were important costs to prospective emigrants....These costs posed a
formidable restraint on European emigration to America. As a
consequence, this threat may have altered the growth path of world
output, and the growth in the personal wealth of prospective emigrants,
by postponing the movement of labor from low productivity employment in
Europe to high productivity employment in

"This article compares sex
differences in migratory behaviors, work patterns and conjugal
relations in a cohort of male and female immigrants who move seasonally
between Mexico and the United States. Gender comparisons are made
using survey data and information from in-depth group interviews. The
findings indicate that among Mexicans immigration to the United States
reinstates men's traditional roles as providers while making women
assume non-traditional roles. Female role expansion, through
employment in the U.S., strongly influences conjugal relations in the
direction of more equality. In contrast, failure to enter the American

Legal emigration from the USSR since World
War II is analyzed. This emigration, totalling just under half a
million, has been largely confined to three national minorities, Jews,
Germans, and Armenians. Data are from a variety of published and
unpublished sources. "The objectives of the report are essentially
threefold--to describe the evolution of the Third Emigration from its
origins to the present; to analyze its causes, precipitants, and
dynamics; and to evaluate its consequences and significances for the
emigrants, the USSR and the West."

beyond existing research by utilizing repeated cross-sectional data.
Descriptive tables show that despite their higher poverty rates,
immigrant families had only minimally higher public assistance

analyses reveal that immigrant families were generally less likely than
natives to receive public assistance....There were exceptions to this
generalization according to year of observation and

statistically measuring the effects of immigration on the earnings of
U.S.-born youth. The presence of immigrants arriving before 1965 has a
positive impact on youth earnings. Recently arrived immigrants impact
negatively, however. These results are consistent with recent findings
that the skill level of immigrants arriving within the last two decades
is lower relative to that of immigrants arriving earlier. The results
also show that the negative effects diminish as the youth ages,
reflecting skill acquisition and job mobility of the young worker into
jobs less vulnerable to competition from immigrant
workers."

"This article reviews evidence that contemporary Egyptian
international labor migration to oil-rich Arab countries has followed a
classic social process which starts with a homo economicus phase,
advances into a goal reorientation phase, and ends with the
establishment of diaspora communities in destination societies. The
history of Egyptian migration, current estimates of migration, the role
of Egyptians in selected Arab countries, and emergent processes all
were found to support the predictions of the social process model.
Particularly important support comes from the finding that all social
classes participated in this migration. Conclusions suggest the
likelihood that Egyptian migration processes will promote economic and
perhaps social integration in the region." Data are from official

labor markets, population growth, public services, and inter-ethnic
relations." The book examines questions such as "can a densely
populated, urban, high-technology society continue to gain from the
heavy influx of low-skilled workers? Is assimilation in its historical
sense still a valid concept for the increasing numbers of non-western
immigrants? How well will the new Immigration Reform and Control Act
work? And how can immigration policies be revamped to satisfy broad
national interests?."

This study is concerned with whether international labor migration
tends to help or harm the economic development of the country of
origin. The author develops a model of international labor migration
in the context of a simultaneous-equation model based on time-series
data. "The discussion is organized as follows: First, we will set up
a simultaneous-equations model. Then, we are going to estimate such a
model for the European South-North migration flows in the years 1960 to
1984. Finally, we will look at the knowledge which we might gain by
such an exercise." The results indicate that such migration has some
positive effect on the economic development of the country of
origin.

peaked in the period prior to the oil crisis of the early 1970s.
Tighter immigration controls adopted in 1974 have affected the
characteristics of the immigrant population concerning intention to
return to country of origin, length of stay, and reuniting of family
members. Consideration is also given to immigrant characteristics by
nationality, unemployment among foreigners, and fertility
differentials. "The second part of the article examines the new terms

integration and the maintainance of the immigrant statute) and the

concerns itself with the relationship between nativity, language
affiliation, and interurban mobility in Canada during the intercensal
period 1976-81. Three hypotheses are evaluated: a) the urban/ethnic
affinity thesis predicts that international immigrants share strong
preferences for settling in and relocating toward large urban centers
where established ethnic communities exist; b) the sociocultural
explanation of mobility posits that variations in the propensity to
relocate are a function of nativity and language; and c) the
heterogeneity explanation predicts that interurban mobility flows
ultimately serve to increase rather than decrease linguistic
heterogeneity in large urban areas. A series of crosstabular logistic
regression analyses provide support for all three hypotheses." Data

revealed that, overall, migration was of less importance in explaining

restructuring of both elderly and nonelderly migration, the
contribution of elderly migration relative to nonelderly migration
increased from 1960 to 1980. Recognizable regional variations were
apparent. Elderly migration not only remained significant in
explaining changes in elderly population concentrations in
'traditional' Sunbelt retirement states but also showed increased
importance in newly emergent southern retirement states and in several
northern states, including a group in New

Discrete-choice theory and logit

patterns in a zonal system. The authors "argue that spatial effects
and more specifically the relative location of zones are not taken into
account in such analyses. We, therefore, introduce a measure of
spatial structure and advocate its usage as a predictor of migration in
such models. In an example of intrametropolitan migration in Toronto
[Canada], we demonstrate that this variable is not only significant but
also it improves the performance of all the other variables with the
greatest impact on the distance between zones. In addition, inclusion
of this variable improves the overall performance of the model in terms
of residuals."

considered. The focus is on reasons given for migration, since a
migrant is able to select only one of nine possible reasons at
registration of migration. An analysis of migration in the Prague area
in 1986 leads the author to suggest changes in the choices available at
registration to allow the identification of reasons associated with the
family.

migration as a response to economic incentives. Social Science
Quarterly, Vol. 69, No. 2, Jun 1988. 245-60 pp. Austin, Texas. In Eng.
"While elderly migrants continue to be a significant component of
all households changing state of residence [in the United States],
little is known about what determines their migration patterns. The
hypothesis of this study is that lower costs of living in some states
attract elderly households on fixed incomes much the same way higher
wages attract members of the labor force. A method for estimating
state cost-of-living indexes is presented, and several models designed
to explain state-to-state flows of older migrants are tested for a
recent period. The importance of cost-of-living variations is strongly
confirmed."

migration: for sun and money. Population Research and Policy
Review, Vol. 7, No. 2, 1988. 189-99 pp. Dordrecht, Netherlands. In Eng.
The authors discuss the impact of economic factors on elderly
migration in the United States and its implications for growth
planning. "Our view is that cost-of-living variations among states
give elderly households on fixed incomes an incentive to move that
closely resembles the effects of wage opportunities on workers who
migrate. To test this view, we employ a state-by-state index of cost
of living for a retired couple to explore its impact on migration
choices of the elderly. The effects of cost of living on migration are
investigated in terms of the probability that an elderly person will
move out-of-state during a five-year period and the probability that a
given state will be chosen as destination once a decision has been made
to migrate. The influences of cost of living at both origin and
destination are strongly confirmed."

of regional wage differentials and other market conditions give a
worker with prior geographic mobility experience a better stock of
information than one who has worked all of his or her work life in the

information has a significant impact on the amount of time it takes an
unemployed worker to locate and accept a job." Data are from the 1981

importance of powerful demographic forces that contributed to the

growth differentials that strongly favored the South and West will

aspects of migration, including papers on migrants' adaptation, the
migration of the elderly, and change of social status. The third part
examines economic aspects of migration, with the emphasis on the
redistribution of the labor force, and rural-urban migration and its
impact on agriculture. A final section presents regional studies,
including the impact of international migration on region of

The author studies the effect of socioeconomic variables on
internal migration in Egypt, using 1976 census data, 1978 regional
statistical indicators, and official health indicators for 1978.
Regional differentials in socioeconomic development are quantified, and
inter-governorate migration streams are examined separately for males
and females. Among the conclusions, it is noted that "net-migration
rates are strongly related to socio-economic conditions at the
destination rather than at the origin areas."

of migration indices and personal attributes is more complicated than
in the case of American or Canadian [censuses]. However, we have found
quite a few statistically significant and substantively meaningful

facilitate cross-national comparisons. Apparently only the United

comparative analysis of spatial mobility."

"The
central issue in many investigations of migration is the nature of the
covariation between migration rates and such localized variables as
wages or unemployment....We concentrate on the effects of household
size on this covariation and develop a general model of out-migration
decisions for multiperson households. This model indicates that the
process of forming an internal agreement may cause households of
different sizes to respond to variation in local conditions in
different ways. These household size effects may complicate the
relation between local conditions and out-migration rates. We
investigate this possibility with data from the U.S. Census Public Use
Micro-Sample for 1980....Our results indicate that larger households
exhibit a relatively greater range of responses to the same range of
local conditions and that some regions have high out-migration rates
not simply because local conditions favor out-migration but also
because larger households exhibit more extreme responses to those
conditions."

and the role they play in the analysis of residential and labour
migration. It is argued that in order to be able to understand the
decisions individuals make regarding migration, the spatial adjustments
as a consequence of the spatial separation of residence and workplace
should be investigated. One way of obtaining more insight about these
adjustment processes is by analysis of the influence of actual and
perceived commuting on the decision to move. The suggested typology of
residential and labour migration therefore contains commuting as the
key factor. As an empirical application of the concepts, an analysis
of actual migration in the Netherlands was
undertaken."

"This study examines return migration in Puerto Rico. Two
different groups of return migrants are considered, those who return to
their birthplace and those who return elsewhere on the island....[The
author attempts to determine] whether or not those returning elsewhere
have higher socioeconomic characteristics than those returning to their
birthplace. The study utilizes data for women ages 15-49 years of age
from a survey of 3,175 women living in Puerto Rico in 1982. Variables
that convey marriage, husband's occupation and education are taken into
account....A range of sociodemographic variables are examined to
investigate similarities and differences between these two groups of

heterogeneous group based upon the place of return

These are the results of a 1984 survey carried out in six
low-income districts of Bangkok, Thailand. The primary focus of the
survey was rural-urban migration, with an emphasis on obtaining data
concerning the place of birth of some 2,000 current residents of urban
squatter areas. Extensive tabular data are provided on age and sex
distribution, heads of households, educational status, family
composition, labor force and employment status, income, morbidity,
family planning, residence characteristics, standard of living, and
place of birth.

The impact of the rural
infrastructure in Poland on rural-urban migration is examined using
data from official sources for the years 1981-1983. In general, the
results indicate that out-migration is more prevalent from the most
underdeveloped rural areas.

"This chapter first presents some data on population growth,
rural-urban migration, and urban unemployment in developing countries
in order to provide an overall view of the dimension of the problem
that these nations face. Subsequently, various models of rural-urban
migration are presented, evaluated, and reformulated. Finally, various
policies are advanced and evaluated for dealing with the serious urban
unemployment and underemployment problem facing most developing
countries today."

Reasons for migration or nonmigration from rural to urban areas in
Zaire are analyzed, with emphasis on the social rather than economic
factors affecting migration. The study is based on research conducted
in the rural area of Tshopo and the city of Kisangani. The rural
sample consisted of 753 individuals and the urban sample comprised 341
individuals. The authors conclude that the attraction of the city has
relatively little impact on migration but that push factors in the
villages of origin play a major role. These include the abuse of power
by the village elders, witchcraft, and the lack of
infrastructure.
