| Title: | County Amenities and Net Migration |
| Authors: | Rupasingha, Anil
Goetz, Stephan J. |
| Issue Date: | 2004-10 |
| Abstract: | U.S. county-level net migration data and a general spatial model are used to examine the effects of various amenities on migration decisions. Results suggest that higher county cancer risks and the presence of superfund sites in a county, or a higher ranking on the Environmental Protection Agency's hazard ranking system, reduce the relative attractiveness of a county to prospective migrants, while natural amenities on balance attract migrants, ceteris paribus. The results also reveal spatial dependence among contiguous counties in terms of net migration behavior. |
