Berlin, Federal Repubic of Germany, Springer-Verlag, 1988. :33-59. Abstract: The authors develop the methods for applying the theory of the 1st 2 chapters in the book to concrete migratory systems. This regression analysis consists of 2 parts. In the 1st part, all parameters of the theory which directly relate to the migration process are estimated by comparison with empirical data. The explicit form of the probability transition rates consisting of mobilities and utilities turn out to be functions of the regions involved and of time. The 2nd part provides insights into the dependence of the migratory process on socioeconomic key factors. It is well known that it is difficult to establish a direct and unique causal relationship between the socioeconomic situation and migratory dynamics. Instead, the authors expect that many influences merge with different intensities in producing the migratory behavior. Therefore, they take the degree of the regional and temporal correlation between the socioeconomic variables and the migratory variables as an indirect measure of their relevance in generating or influencing migration.
