title: Heterogeneity, nonstationarity, and duration-of-stay effects in migration.
abstract: "This paper briefly outlines the theoretical problem of the identification of duration-of-stay effects in migration.  The empirical studies are critically reviewed with particular emphasis upon their treatment of heterogeneity and nonstationarity.  New statistical tests developed by the authors are applied to Wisconsin migration data.  These tests suggest that although heterogeneity and nonstationarity are strongly present within the data, duration-of-stay effects appear weak."
