Modeling Inter-Regional Migration in Western Germany

摘要: In this paper we investigate the degree to which internal migration ‡ows in Western Germany can be related employment changes. The data consist of in- and out-migration employed workers 75 regions over period 19821997. Given a multinomial logit model for individual decisions, derive conditional Poisson gravity from one region another. Although these are not observable, it appears that per su¢cient statistics maximum likelihood estimation, each year separately. correctness speci…cation is tested by integrated moment test on basis nonlinear regressions implied model.
