Abstract: Abstract This book chapter offers an overview of the literature on the determinants of U.S. interregional migration trends. With its particularly high rates of internal migration, the United States serves as an interesting case study for analyzing regional migration trends. The contributions highlight the migration trends that are specific to the country and include in-depth discussions about the various factors that have shaped them over time. The aim of the book chapter is to provide a comprehensive review that not only accounts for the previous research, but also incorporates recent developments in migration literature. One of the important contributions of the book chapter is its discussion on the linkages between migration and climate change in the U.S. The chapter also identifies the current gaps in the literature and suggests possible novel avenues for future research on interregional migration.
