title: Dynamics of the U.S. interstate migration system, 1975-1992.
abstract: This note further develops an analysis of the U.S. interstate migration system by K.E. McHugh and P. Gober.  Specifically, it uses annual state-to-state migration flow data from Internal Revenue Service for the period 1975-1992 to analyze migration trends.  Some modifications to earlier conclusions are suggested.  "First the note concludes that the emergence of a new pattern of population redistribution in the U.S. in the 1980s, as reported by McHugh and Gober, was indeed significant, but that it was transitory. Second, the note's analysis does not support McHugh and Gober's conclusion of a fairly strong inverse relationship between migration effectiveness and economic expansions and contractions."
