Abstract
A study initiated by the National Physical Planning Agency of the Dutch government has offered an opportunity to further develop an economic push-pull model of interregional migration. A new aggregate-hypothesis is presented which is derived from a survey of migration research. It is followed by a preliminary test involving a certain choice of regions, statistical indicators, time period, direction and form of postulated relationships. The test reveals that the (aggregate) chance of interprovincial migration depends in a statistically significant way on relative economic attraction, physical distance, social distance, alternative economic attraction, and relative housing attraction.
