Abstract:

This book investigates interregional migration in quantitative detail. It includes 16 chapters divided into 1) General Theory, 2) Interregional Migration in Individual Countries, 3) Comparative Studies, and 4) Mathematical Methods. The volume treats 3 main aspects: 1) The development of a dynamic migratory model connecting the microlevel of individual decisions with the macrolevel of the migratory process and making use of the Master Equation method well known in statistical physics; 2) the quantitative description and evaluation of interregional migration in different countries in terms of dynamic regional utilities and mobilities; and 3) the interpretative and quantitative correlation of interregional migration with the socioeconomic situation in these countries.
