title: Place-to-place migration in Israel:  estimates of a logistic model.
abstract: "A multinomial logit model focusing on economic and other locational factors is formulated and applied to data on place-to-place migration in Israel.  Results indicate the effects of expected industrial wage differentials, in accordance with the hypothesis of Harris and Todaro (1970), and of disparities in the structure of industrial employment, suggesting that perceived risk as well as expected return enter into the decision to migrate, as Stark and Levhari (1982) have argued.  Other effects include those associated with regional differentials in amenities and agglomeration associated with urbanization, population mobility by age group, center-periphery migration trends, border security hazards, and the like.  Implications of the analysis for the Israeli policy of population dispersion are discussed."
