Variation of Migration Behaviour in Population
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The purpose of this study is to empirically investigate variation in the migration behaviour across individuals. Both a random parameters logit (RPL) and a standard logit model are employed. The migration models are estimated using a register-based data from Finland. The RPL model proves to be a flexible way to control for random variation in the parameters: the results suggest that many migration parameters do vary within population and that the RPL specification improves statistical fit compared to the standard logit model. The RPL can also give valuable information on the reliability of predictions if computed from a model. Therefore, it can be fruitful to relax the assumption of fixed parameters in a wider range of economic applications.

Why Do They Want to Migrate from Rural Areas? A Psychological Perspective from Iran
While migration is a basic element of population dynamics in most societies, in Iran, rural-urban migration is a particular concern of both social scientists and policy makers. Rural-urban migration accounts for over half of the growth of most Iranian cities. On the other hand, this movement is often cited as having negative effects on rural area, including a shortage of supply of agricultural ...

Growth hormone gene plays a critical role in regulating growth and metabolism which leads to potential correlations between the polymorphisms of this gene and economic trait. A 776 bp fragment within the intron 1 region of the growth hormone gene from 346 individuals of an F2 population of Japanese quail was amplified. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) product was digested using MspI restrict...
