Abstract: Abstract This paper presents a novel method for modelling internal migration dynamics using non‐stationary causative matrices. Its application to annual migration flows in Spain reveals changes in location preferences of migrants between 1986 and 2003. Our approach also indicates some instability in Spain's migratory system prior to the late 1990s, as opposed to a negligible instability after that. Resumen Este artículo presenta un método novedoso para modelizar las dinámicas de migración interna utilizando matrices causales no estacionarias. Su aplicación a flujos migratorios anuales en España revela cambios en las preferencias de localización de inmigrantes entre 1986 y 2003. Nuestro enfoque indica también cierta inestabilidad en el sistema migratorio español anterior al final de los años 90, en contraposición a una inestabilidad despreciable después de ese periodo.
