Alternative opportunities and United States interstate migration: An improved econometric specification
Abstract Use of explanatory variables defined at the end of the period to explain migration flows over that period introduces a simultaneous equations bias. The author employs beginning-of-period variables to avoid this bias in both the “traditional” economic and alternative opportunity formulations of the aggregate migration models for 1955–60 and 1965–70 United States migration flows. For 1955–60 the beginning-of-period variables yield the correct negative sign for unemployment (which has proved to be a troublesome variable in prior studies). The alternative opportunity variables perform well empirically for both time periods and indicate that the role of distance is partially to reflect foregone opportunities.
