Abstract
Tax‐tile data are available for moves between census divisions in Canada on a year‐by‐year basis, and may be the best data source for studying migration flows between censuses. This paper reports the results of filling a series of models to me 1985 to 1986 flows using a form of regression analysis based on the Poisson distribution that is appropriate for count data. These models confirm results well‐known from interprovincial and intermetropolitan migration analysis, but also reveal some more surprising results.
期刊介绍:
Regional Science is the official journal of the Regional Science Association International. It encourages high quality scholarship on a broad range of topics in the field of regional science. These topics include, but are not limited to, behavioral modeling of location, transportation, and migration decisions, land use and urban development, interindustry analysis, environmental and ecological analysis, resource management, urban and regional policy analysis, geographical information systems, and spatial statistics. The journal publishes papers that make a new contribution to the theory, methods and models related to urban and regional (or spatial) matters.
