title: A three-dimensional approach to multistream migration modelling: local-level flows in Hereford and Worcester.
abstract: Using data for the English county of Hereford and Worcester, the author presents a method for the analysis of migration at the local level "which does not disaggregate migrant flows by distance criteria alone, but incorporates measures relating to the nature of the origins and of the destinations."  The author suggests that "in comparison with a standard single-stream regression model this method improves the fit substantially, and the variability in the resulting parameter estimates for each of the eight streams supports the need for identification of distinct migrant streams.  In particular, flows over short distances between wards with high population densities are estimated more effectively."
