Papers in Regional Science, 1989, vol. 67, issue 1, 89-102

Abstract: ABSTRACT Tax‐tile data are available for moves between census divisions in Canada on a year‐by‐year basis, and may be the best data source for studying migration flows between censuses. This paper reports the results of filling a series of models to me 1985 to 1986 flows using a form of regression analysis based on the Poisson distribution that is appropriate for count data. These models confirm results well‐known from interprovincial and intermetropolitan migration analysis, but also reveal some more surprising results.
