Abstract
"... Problems of using a linear, log-linear, or other simple functional forms for the study of interstate migration have been discussed. A general form and the procedure to estimate it have been introduced. 1970 [U.S.] Census data for the 48 contiguous states have been used to estimate the parameters in the general form."Keywords
