Popis:	In attempting to model gross migration flows as distinct from net flows entropy and information theory models supplement those from the demographic tradition. However clear differences exist between these two classes including the type of origin and destination information which needs to be supplied the relationship between the overall decision to migrate and the conditional choice of destination the role of behavioral variables other than distance and the expected predictive performance. In this paper an enhanced interregional migration model is introduced which attempts a further integration of both the above classes. A linear version of the model is used for exploratory data analysis on a large Australian population census data set. Several alternative hypotheses are then tested with the general model. Some guidelines are also indicated toward developing a fully dynamic version of the model as well as a formal hierarchical framework. (EXCERPT)
