title: The wax and wane of interstate migration patterns in the U.S.A. in the 1980s:  a demographic effectiveness field perspective.
abstract: The author analyzes the structure of temporal changes in U.S. internal migration over the period 1980-1988 using data from matched income tax returns.  "A number of hypotheses are explored about how in-migration and out-migration fields wax and wane, thereby giving rise to the overall shifts in demographic effectiveness measured over the period.  The results highlight the characteristics of recent (1980-88) shifts in U.S. internal migration patterns including net migration reversals from strong net in-migration to strong net out-migration for states with significant energy sectors, the stanching of net out-migration from many states of the American manufacturing belt, the turnaround to net in-migration for all of northern New England, and the continuance of highly effective net in-migration to the sunbelt states of Florida, Arizona, and Nevada."
