Abstract

The phenomenon of migration is addressed by several disciplines, such as demography, sociology, economics, political science and history. Therefore, a wide range of analytical tools can be used to analyse this phenomenon. This study focuses primarily on regional migration and capturing the dimension of distance in empirical analysis. Cartograms can be used to analyse regional migration, and Webb diagrams that capture the evolution of net international and internal migration over time. It is also appropriate to use the efficiency matrix of migration indices and nodal graphs to analyse migration flows between different regions. Spatial econometrics is then important for migration analysis to test the validity of theoretical concepts of migration. However, it is often not possible to track the exact distance of migration flows in the data. Therefore, it is necessary to resort to proxy methods to determine the distance. Tracking internal migration plays a crucial role in regional development and is vital in assessing political, economic and social change. Therefore, appropriate analytical tools must be used to analyse it at the regional level.

区域迁移与距离维度的实证分析

人口、社会学、经济学、政治学和历史学等几个学科都在研究移民现象。因此，可以使用广泛的分析工具来分析这一现象。本研究主要关注区域迁移，并在实证分析中捕捉距离维度。地图可以用来分析区域移民，而韦伯图可以捕捉到国际和国内净移民随时间的演变。用迁移指数效率矩阵和节点图来分析不同区域间的迁移流动也是合适的。因此，空间计量经济学对于移民分析非常重要，可以检验移民理论概念的有效性。然而，通常不可能在数据中跟踪迁移流的确切距离。因此，有必要采用代理方法来确定距离。跟踪国内移徙对区域发展起着至关重要的作用，对评估政治、经济和社会变革至关重要。因此，必须使用适当的分析工具在区域一级对其进行分析。
