Interregional income differentials and migration: their interrelationships.

T Tabuchi

    Regional Studies
    |February 1, 1988
    PubMed
    Summary

    Interregional income differences do not cause net migration, but net migration does influence income differences. This study uses Japanese data to confirm this economic relationship.

    Area of Science:

    • Economics
    • Regional Science
    • Demography

    Background:

    • Interregional income disparities are a persistent feature of many economies.
    • Understanding the causal relationship between income differentials and migration is crucial for policy-making.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the direction of causality between interregional income differentials and net migration.
    • To test whether income differences drive migration or vice versa.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of Japanese prefectural data from 1954-1982.
    • Time-series analysis comparing the timing of income peaks and migration flows.
    • Application of the Sims causality test to assess the relationship.
    • Examination of per capita income and population share using phase diagrams.

    Main Results:

    • Income differentials were found to be exogenous to net migration.
    • Net migration was not found to be exogenous to income differentials, indicating a one-way causality.
    • The study confirms that income differences do not cause migration, but migration patterns are influenced by income.

    Conclusions:

    • The findings suggest that policies aimed at reducing regional income inequality may not directly impact migration flows.
    • Migration patterns are more likely to be a response to existing income disparities rather than a cause of them.
    • This research contributes to the understanding of regional economic dynamics and population mobility.
