Resumen

Este trabajo se ha convertido en un obligado punto de referencia en el campo de estudios de población.Population Redistribution and Economic Growth supera ampliamente en alcance y profundidad todas las anteriores publicaciones sobre el patron de migraciones diferenciales interestatales y sus correlatos económicoes. Este analisisde los correlatos económicos de las oecilaciones temporales en las migraciones internas de EEUU (usande estados como unidades georgraficas) no tiene precedentes, asi como los esfuerzos realizados por los autores para desarrollar series históricas para cada estado de una variedad de series demográficas y economicas. El. desarrollo de las series sobre migración, particularmente, es acompañado por una excelente síntesis y extensión de las ideas metodológicas existentes referentes a las propiedades de estimadores netos de migración, A la luz de la variedad de sus series históricas (por estados), de la exposicion sistemàtica de los principales patrones tanto temporales como espaciales demostrados por las series, y de la exploración de algunos de los sistemas de relaciones entre las series, laPopulation Redistribution and Economic Growth puede ser considerada como una sólida base para posteriores análisis de la migracion. como un componente de las variaciones interregionales en estructura economicay cambió. La influencia de este trabajo ee evidente en una variedad de sucesivos estudios de diferencias regionales en migraci⤵.

Summary

This work has become a prominentlandmark in thefield of population studies. By a wide margin,Population Redistribution and Economic Growth exceeds in scope and depth any previous publication on the pattern of inter-state migration differentials and their economic correlates. Its work on the economic correlates of temporal swings in United States internal migration (using states as the areal units) seems unprecedented, as are the efforts which its various authors have expended in the development of historical series for a variety of demographic and economic indicators at the state level. The development of the migration series in particular is accompanied by a major synthesis and extension of the then existing methodological ideas concerning the properties of net migration estimators. In the light of the variety of its historical series (for states), of its systematic exposition on the principal spatial and temporal patterns shown by the series, and of its explorations of some of the networksof association among the series, Population Redistribution and Economic Growth may be viewed as having laid a major foundation for further intensive analysis of migration as a component of the inter-regional variation in economic structure and change. The influence of this work is evident in a variety of subsequent studies on regional differences in migration.
