Abstract

An objective of this study is to outline a migrant disaggregation procedure that compares the characteristics of those entering, leaving, or remaining in a state during a specified period of time so that migration induced changes in population composition can be evaluated. This index of migrant selectivity is then integrated as an endogenous variable, along with net migration and per capita income growth, into a system of simultaneous equations which recognizes the interdependent nature of the relationship between migration and per capita income growth. Exogenous variables represent various aspects of regional attractiveness, and they include growth in nonagricultural employment, unemployment, fertility, educational attainment, climate, and population density. The analysis is conducted for US states during the time period 1965 to 1970.
