Abstract

Migration is the result of complex interactions between different socio-economic factors in different areas. This study analyses the multiple gravitational influences on interregional migration in South Korea. Spatial econometric models are employed to incorporate spatial interactions between multiple socio-economic gravitational influences into spatial weight matrices. Using Bayesian posterior probabilities to evaluate models incorporating different gravitational influences, this study finds that the primary driver of migration is the difference in human capital conditions between areas. Furthermore, it suggests that the simultaneous consideration of differences in both economic and human capital conditions across areas increases the attractiveness of certain areas for migration.
