  • Title: The wax and wane of interstate migration patterns in the U.S.A. in the 1980s: a demographic effectiveness field perspective.
    Author: Plane DA.
    Journal: Environ Plan A; 1994 Oct; 26(10):1,545-61. PubMed ID: 12319077.
    Abstract:
    The author analyzes the structure of temporal changes in U.S. internal migration over the period 1980-1988 using data from matched income tax returns. "A number of hypotheses are explored about how in-migration and out-migration fields wax and wane, thereby giving rise to the overall shifts in demographic effectiveness measured over the period. The results highlight the characteristics of recent (1980-88) shifts in U.S. internal migration patterns including net migration reversals from strong net in-migration to strong net out-migration for states with significant energy sectors, the stanching of net out-migration from many states of the American manufacturing belt, the turnaround to net in-migration for all of northern New England, and the continuance of highly effective net in-migration to the sunbelt states of Florida, Arizona, and Nevada."
