    This study presents an econometric model for forecasting population growth in Texas by analyzing net migration and natural increase. The model accurately predicts future population changes, outperforming simpler methods.

    Area of Science:

    • Demography
    • Econometrics
    • Population Studies

    Background:

    • Accurate population forecasting is crucial for resource allocation and policy planning.
    • Traditional methods often aggregate demographic components, potentially reducing accuracy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate an econometric model for forecasting population growth.
    • To explicitly model net migration and natural increase for improved prediction accuracy.
    • To compare the proposed model's performance against simpler forecasting techniques.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of an econometric model incorporating net migration and natural increase.
    • Estimation of the model using time-series data specific to Texas.
    • Out-of-sample simulation for a five-year forecast period.

    Main Results:

    • The econometric model demonstrated high accuracy in forecasting Texas population growth.
    • The proposed model significantly outperformed simpler prediction methods.
    • Explicitly modeling demographic components proved superior to aggregate population modeling.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed econometric model provides a reliable tool for population forecasting.
    • Accounting for net migration and natural increase individually enhances predictive power.
    • This approach offers a more robust method for understanding and projecting population dynamics.
