title: Interregional income differentials and migration:  their interrelationships.
abstract: "The major objective of this paper is to demonstrate that interregional income differential is exogenous to interregional net migration, but not conversely.  Utilizing Japanese prefectural-based data for 1954-82, we conduct the following three kinds of analyses to confirm this statement.  Firstly, a simple comparison of the crests of interregional time-series plots was made to see which occurred first.  Secondly, Sims', 1972, test of causality was done to investigate causation between urban/rural income differential and net migration.  Finally, per capita income and population share were examined by two-dimensional phase diagram for nine regions."  (SUMMARY IN FRE AND GER)
