Kim's recent reformulation in discrete time of Preston and Coale's continuous time generalized age-distribution model for any population is extended to the multiregional case by the introduction of interregional migration and the simultaneous consideration of multiple interacting regional...

This paper attempts to present a comprehensive view of the methodological and empirical aspects involved in the construction of increment - decrement life tables, that is life tables which allow entries into (increments) as well as withdrawals from (decrements) alternative states. The first...

Concerned with the doubly constrained case of spatial interaction models, this paper introduces a general functional form that subsumes the usual multiplicative (Wilson) and additive (Tobler) variants as extreme variants. Specifically, this formulation depends on a scalar <i>lambda</i> allowed to vary...

In 1976, the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis initiated a study of migration and population distribution patterns in its seventeen member nations. In each country, the analysis was carried out by national scholars using techniques of multiregional demography. In this paper...

Interprovincial migration patterns of Canada's elderly are examined and compared with their nonelderly counterparts, by using data from Revenue Canada's income tax file for a fifteen-year period (1966/67 - 1980/81). First, in a simple descriptive analysis it is shown that, despite becoming...

This paper compares the system of equations underlying Alonso's theory of movement with that of Wilson's standard family of spatial-interaction models. It is shown that the Alonso model is equivalent to one of Wilson's four standard models depending on the assumption at the outset about which of...

This paper reports on the design and testing of an adequate framework for conducting regional multiplier studies in areas experiencing rapid population growth. It puts forward the <i>demometric </i>approach, one that applies econometric methods to the analysis of demoeconomic growth.Two alternative...

This paper considers a hybrid maintenance policy for a simple system comprising a single component that arises from a heterogeneous population. This population of components consists of two sub-populations that possess different failure characteristics. There are a substantial number of papers...

In this paper, a hedonic regression model of house prices in Los Angeles County is tested with use of 1970 and 1980 data on dwelling characteristics, neighborhood variables, and measures of accessibility to the central business district and subcenter nodes. Many of the coefficient estimates on...

Hedonic regression methods are used to assess the impact of dwelling and structure characteristics, neighborhood effects, and multiple locations on a sample of almost 11 000 residential property sales in Los Angeles County in 1980. Correction for the dwelling characteristic permits the analysis...
