Abstract

This paper is an investigation of the dynamics of interstate migration flows to and from New England since 1975. The main goal of the research is to study the timing and volume of the lagged migration adjustment to the regional economic turnaround and the temporal stability of patterns of regional inflows and outflows. The paper is an examination of the responsiveness of interstate migration to changing regional economic conditions based on annual interstate migration data and a set of cross-sectional destination-specific Poisson regression models. The results of the analysis add to our understanding of the economic revival in New England and the prospects for longer term employment growth in the region. Our knowledge of migration response and the regional labor-market adjustment process in general is also furthered.
