Abstract

An interregional migration model based on vacancy chains, on an intervening-opportunities interaction hypothesis, and incorporating endogenously generated imperfect information flows is developed. Analytical results are determined for the case of perfect information. Numerical experiments are undertaken for the case of imperfect information. Cyclical behavior in the state variables occurs around the perfect-information equilibrium. Suggestions for extending the modeling framework are identified.
