title: Modelling the peopling of Australia:  1900-1930.
abstract: An analysis of migration from the United Kingdom to Australia during the period 1900 to 1930 is presented.  The author attempts "first to explicitly develop and estimate a model of the behavioural relations of the two blades of the Marshallian scissors, rather than mixing supply and demand (under the polyglot terms of 'push-pull') in a single equation without regard to the problem of identification.  And second, [he attempts] to incorporate in these structural equations key elements of government intervention in the migration process."  The relationship between economic factors and Australian government support for immigration is considered.  The author also identifies three factors influencing annual variations in the flow of migration from the United Kingdom:  expected income gains, transport costs, and the costs of job search.
