Author

  • Ingrid Dallmann
  • Katrin Millock

Abstract

Migration data is matched from the Indian census with climate data to test the hypothesis of climate variability as a push factor for internal migration. The main contribution of the analysis is to introduce relevant meteorological indicators of climate variability, based on the standardized precipitation index. [CES Working Papers].
