Markov models of mobility.
The theoretical basis of a methodology that is designed for investigating population movements and can be used for economic planning purposes is outlined using Markovian models.  "The object of analysis in these models is population change, which manifests itself in three main forms:  natural changes, physical movement (migration), and mobility of a social or production type (shifts between branches or skill groups).  These methods classify each person according to particular characteristics, which enable [the author] to break down the population into homogeneous nonintersecting groups."
