Serial correlation in multiregional migration models.
"In this paper, we outline the specification and estimation of a time series of multiregional net-migration equations subject to first-order serial correlation.  We show that the necessary nonstochastic adding-up constraint, which requires that net migration in the system sum to zero, imposes restrictions on the serial-correlation coefficients.  We estimate equations under these restrictions using data for the ten Canadian provinces for the period 1962-1985.  The results confirm the significance of the serial-correlation coefficient and, hence, the importance of incorporating this correction in future time-series models of multiregional migration."
