title: The role of trans-Tasman migration in forecasting the New Zealand population.
abstract: "This article argues that, for the short to medium term, [New Zealand population] projections can be improved upon by adopting econometric methodologies which take explicitly into account the demographic-economic two-way interaction in certain components of international migration.  Specifically, the article summarizes research on the causes and consequences of trans-Tasman migration, which is the dominant component of the volatility in New Zealand's net migration.  It is shown how these findings can aid population forecasting."
