Applied Multiregional Demography: Migration and Population Redistribution

A multiregional population-projection framework that incorporates both migration and residential mobility streams: application to metropolitan city-suburb redistribution.

"In this paper the author introduces a population-projection framework that incorporates interregional migration and intraregional residential mobility streams to project future population sizes both across and within regions in a manner that is consistent with existing migration theory. The author presents a general matrix model of the framework, shows how its parameters can be estimated from...

Demographic Modeling of the Geography of Migration and Population: A Multiregional Perspective

This article focuses on the development and evolution of migration and population redistribution modeling within the spatial context of multiregional demography. It begins in 1965, when the state-of-the-art consisted largely of ideas and techniques imported from other disciplines (regression analysis, gravity models, Markov chains, and matrix cohort-survival population projection models) and th...

Migration and settlement: a multiregional comparative study.

"In 1976, the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis initiated a study of migration and population distribution patterns in its seventeen member nations. In each country, the analysis was carried out by national scholars using techniques of multiregional demography. In this paper the authors describe the organization of the study, discuss the data bases used, evaluate the main r...

Multiregional Population Projections

Approximating the distribution of population size in stochastic multiregional matrix models with fast migration.

In this work we deal with a multiregional model in discrete time for an age-structured population which lives in an environment that changes randomly with time and is distributed in different spatial patches. In addition, and as is often the case in applications, we assume that migration is fast with respect to demography. Using approximate aggregation techniques we make use of the existence of...
