title: An econometric model of internal migration and development:  extensions and tests.
abstract: The author extends a previous work on migration in Italy "from 1958-1976 to 1958-1981, tests for the stability of the model and its coefficients, and uses the model for policy simulations and forecasting.  The model performs as well over the extended sample period as over the original period and, even more important..., the model is found to be quite stable.  This is remarkable in view of the economic turmoil that characterized the years by which the original sample period was extended."
