Migration between core and peripheral regions: a description and tentative explanation of the patterns in 22 countries.

"In the developed world at least, the century-long migration towards the high density core regions is over. To establish this thesis, internal migration statistics for 22 countries are examined, covering the period 1950-1979. Of these 22 countries, five categories are distinguished: (1) the countries of north-western Europe...; (2) the countries of North America...; (3) countries on the periphery of western Europe...[and] Japan and New Zealand; (4) the countries of eastern Europe...; and (5) two advanced developing countries in eastern Asia...." Migration trends among countries in the five categories are described, and a tentative explanation of these patterns is offered. "[An] appendix contains the data from which the figures in the text have been constructed, the exact sources from which the data have been taken, and the constituent administrative subdivisions of the regions chosen for study."

Migration and urbanization in Ecuador: a view from the coast.

"The present study takes a regional view of urbanization and migration in coastal Ecuador, and presents field data collected [in 1970 and 1971] in the port city of Manta. This study seeks to account for various national and international influences that work to shape conditions in Manta, and on the coast generally, and to specify and account for patterns of socieconomic inequality, particularly as they relate to migration and urbanization."

Suicide and net migration in Texas counties, 1970 and 1980.

Recent research has examined the consequences of migration, with much of this work focusing on "boom" towns. This literature provides a useful framework for studying the consequences of population growth in other settings, however. The boom-town literature has generally used the social disruption hypothesis, which predicts social disruptions in communities growing rapidly through migration, to explain the results of migration in these communities. Suicide is one social disruption indicator which has not received much empirical attention. According to the social disruption hypothesis, a positive relationship is expected between the net migration and suicide rates. We examine this hypothesis using data from Texas nonmetropolitan counties for the last two decades. We also present separate analyses for metropolitan counties. The results fail to provide support for the hypothesis. There is generally no relationship between net migration and suicide rates in both nonmetropolitan and metropolitan counties. Alternative explanations fail to alter this finding.

Measuring interstate migration flows: an origin-destination network based on Internal Revenue Service records.

"This paper examines gross interstate migration flows for five periods for the years between 1969 and 1978. The analysis is based upon a newly available data source--Federal income tax returns. Approximately 90% of the US population is covered by this data series. The matching of Internal Revenue Service (IRS) returns between filing dates enables the determination both of the origin and of the destination of migrants, with few of the risks of geographic miscoding present. "These data illustrate that despite divergent economic fluctuations over the past nine years, the patterns of interstate migration have remained virtually unchanged. With few exceptions, the number of migrants either leaving or entering a particular state comprise identical proportions over time.... In addition, these data offer considerable evidence that current residence has a significant impact on the selection of a destination." Comparisons are made with data from the Current Work History Sample and the 1970 census.
