title: Urbanization, interregional accessibility, and the decision to migrate.
abstract: Trends in population and labor force growth in nonmetropolitan areas of the United States during the 1970s are analyzed.  The authors investigate the relationships among migration behavior, urban accessibility, and externalities such as congestion that are associated with urban residence.  "A model of the migration decision [is examined] that incorporates in an explicit fashion this proximity-centrality relationship.  Estimates of the model are also discussed, with specific attention given to the relationship under question.  In addition, the age selectivity of the relationship [is] examined.  Insights on the nonmetropolitan reversal drawn from the model estimates are discussed in a third section, followed by concluding remarks."
