The role of migration research in regional science.
"In this paper we try to provide an assessment of the role that migration research has played over the course of the more than 40 years in which regional science has existed as a recognizable, multidisciplinary academic enterprise.... To carry out our analyses we developed a data base of papers published in five leading regional science journals." The authors "attempt to set the regional science contributions in the context of migration research more generally, comparing the results of the journal analysis to a broader sample of migration abstracts published in the Population Index."
