A family of spatial interaction models incorporating information flows and choice set constraints applied to U.S. interstate labor flows.
"A new family of migration models belonging to the elimination by aspects family is examined, with the spatial interaction model shown to be a special case.  The models have simple forms; they incorporate information flow processes and choice set constraints; they are free of problems raised by the Luce Choice Axiom; and are capable of generating intransitive flows.  Preliminary calibrations using the Continuous Work History Sample [time] series data indicate that the model fits the migration data well, while providing estimates of interstate job message flows.  The preliminary calculations also indicate that care is needed in assuming that destination [attraction] are independent of origins."
