The log-linear model, with an alternative parameter coding scheme, is used in this paper to obtain estimates of international migration flows in situations where the data are inadequate or missing.
Abstract
The log-linear model, with an alternative parameter coding scheme, is used in this paper to obtain estimates of international migration flows in situations where the data are inadequate or missing. The alternative parameter coding scheme is particularly useful in constructing the origin-destination association stricture—a key element often required for more-accurate predictions. To illustrate the method, international migration flows between countries in the northern region of Europe during the 1999–2000 period are estimated.

This paper shows that the gravity model is not a single model but that there is a whole family of spatial interaction models, and is particularly concerned with the disaggregation of such models, with the incorporation of time variables, and with the relation of spatial interactions to more general models.

An alternative method for fitting the gravity model is suggested, in which the interaction variable is treated as the outcome of a discrete probability process, whose mean is a function of the size and distance variables.

The author concludes that the extended minimum information approach is the most suitable for building dynamic spatial interaction models, given the current state of U.S. internal migration data.

The probabilistic approach and the EM algorithm are applied to two different missing data problems and the Poisson model is considered, which underlies the loglinear model, the log-rate model and the poisson regression.

The net migration constrained model presented here could prove particularly useful for updating detailed migration matrices on the basis of current net migration estimates, and could even provide some clues as to the nature of the still poorly understood relationship between gross and net migration.
