Abstract : This paper develops a simultanous-equations model of metropolitan employment growth and migration that differs from previous similar models in four ways: (1) It endogenizes migrant characteristics, namely, employment and unemployment status of civilian labor force migrants. (2) It incorporates amenities while endogenizing not only income, but also rents, both of which are affected by amenities. (3) Relative to past work, it greatly refines the migration measures and also uses a novel econometric procedure for estimation purposes. (4) Within a system that incorporates three decades, it develops estimates of the models for the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. The empirical results strongly support the mutual causation hypothesis that employment and migration are interdependent and each stimulates the other. One of the major findings that has never been shown before is that net migration of employed persons tends to encourage income growth, whereas net migration of unemployed persons tends to discourage such growth. Generally, the results are strong and in several respects provide advances over those of roughly comparable simultaneous systems.
