Abstract
Factors affecting migration from metropolitan to nonmetropolitan areas of the United States are explored using a time-series model of annual net migration in Minnesota for the period 1951 to 1978. The importance of economic factors is emphasized. The authors "also found support for the null hypothesis of exogeneity of nonmetropolitan unemployment, the economic influence on migration that is most likely to be endogenous. The results of Chow Tests indicate that changes in the portion of migration behavior...investigated reflect stable responses to changes in economic incentives."
