title: Urban and regional change in Australia:  an empirical introduction.
abstract: Recent changes in the spatial distribution of the population in Australia are examined.  In particular, changes in population by state are analyzed for the period 1971-1981.  The relationship of these changes to shifts in economic activity, private investment, and banking activity is considered.  "Results show there have been only small shifts toward population growth areas.  These results are interpreted in part as a consequence of nonlocal multipliers and linkages back to established areas, but also as a reflection of the unique features of the Australian urban and regional system."
