Can economic incentives explain the recent population movements to nonmetropolitan areas?
Abstract A major trend of population movement from metropolitan to nonmetropolitan areas began sometime in the late 1960s or early 1970s. We present estimates of a time series equation that explains part of the migration behavior underlying these movements in Minnesota. The hypothesized economic influences on behavior were significant and of the expected signs. We also found support for the null hypothesis of exogeneity of nonmetropolitan unemployment, the economic influence on migration that is most likely to be endogenous. The results of Chow Tests indicate that changes in the portion of migration behavior that we investigated reflect stable responses to changes in economic incentives.
