title: Migration and regional wages.
abstract: "This paper presents a new method of using wage data in a model of U.S. interregional migration.  This method makes better use of human capital theory than has been done in previous studies.  By restricting the variability of real predicted individual regional wages, more satisfactory estimates of a migration model are obtained using microdata than when no restrictions are imposed.  A multiple choice conditional logit model is applied to migration as a choice among the four U.S. census regions.  Two U.S. microdata sets are used to estimate the model."
