This empirical study investigates the Tiebout-Tullock hypothesis as it might have applied to net domestic state in-migration rates over the period 1990 through 1999. It appears that the net state in-migration rate has been directly related to the ratio of the total state plus local government...

This brief Note has found that the location decisions of the American Indian are influenced by geographic AFDC differentials. In particular, the American Indian population is apparently strongly attracted to high welfare areas. This finding may be interpreted as yet further support for the...

This study investigates the impact of certain state and local government policies on 1960-70 migration according to race. Black migrants are found to be attracted to states with higher welfare (AFDC) levels and higher levels of state plus local government spending. By contrast, white migrants...

For the period 2008-2009 of the “Great Recession,” the gross state-level in-migration rate was an increasing function of expected per capita personal income, state parks per capita, and warmer January temperatures. For the same study period, the gross in-migration rate was a decreasing...

This study empirically investigates determinants of enlistment in the U.S. Army over the period 1974 through 2008. The emphasis is on the impacts of both the availability of free medical care and the challenges of addressing higher medical care inflation. The study estimates reveal that the...

This empirical note finds that nonwhite migration is positively and significantly affected by welfare levels and that welfare levels in turn are positively and significantly affected by nonwhite migration. Thus, this two stage least squares analysis of 1960-1970 net interstate migration lends...

This reply extends our previous study on migration by estimating a system of simultaneous equations by two stage least squares. This set of results implies even more strongly than our original study, which was a single-equation system estimated by ordinary least squares, that in-migration is...

Economic freedom increases market efficiency, growth, development, and individual prosperity. This study empirically investigates whether higher levels of economic freedom, as well as higher levels of personal freedom, act like magnets for persons residing in a free society to move. In other...

This study empirically extends the Tiebout hypothesis of "voting with one's feet" in two ways. First, it provides updated estimates using net migration data for the period 2000-2008. Second, in addition to investigating variables reflecting public education outlays, property taxation and income...
