Notes:
A positive association between rotes of in-migration and out-migration across locations has long been observed. This apparent paradox has usually been attributed to the impact of in-migration on population composition. We argue here that the intrinsic structure of population dynamics may also induce this effect, and we develop a formal model of this process. Empirical analyses using migration data for stales in the U.S. over 1955-1960, 1965-1970, and 1975-1980 show that the intrinsic mechanism may swamp the compositional effect.
