Abstract: ABSTRACT A positive association between rotes of in‐migration and out‐migration across locations has long been observed. This apparent paradox has usually been attributed to the impact of in‐migration on population composition. We argue here that the intrinsic structure of population dynamics may also induce this effect, and we develop a formal model of this process. Empirical analyses using migration data for stales in the U.S. over 1955‐1960, 1965‐1970, and 1975‐1980 show that the intrinsic mechanism may swamp the compositional effect.
