BILSBORROW, RICHARD E. AKIN, JOHN S. Data Availability versus Data Needs for Analyzing the Determinants and Consequences of Internal Migration: An Evaluation of U.S. Survey Data Review of Public Data Use 10,4 (December 1982): 261-284 Cohort(s): Mature Women, Older Men, Young Men, Young Women ID Number: 199 Publisher: U.S. Department of Commerce Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This study develops criteria for appraising the appropriateness and adequacy of sample survey data used to analyze the determinants and consequences of internal migration, and applies them to four United States national survey data sets. The nine criteria developed concern the needs to be able to identify migrants adequately over space and time; for an adequate sample of migrants; for data on households as well as individuals; for a longitudinal (or rather specialized cross-sectional) approach; for detailed economic and noneconomic information on the period before and after the move; for incorporating community/area-level data; for experimenting with selected information on attitudes and tastes; for data modeling the decision process within multiperson decision units; and consideration of moving costs. These criteria are used to appraise the utility for migration analysis of the United States Current Population Survey, the Survey of Income and Education, the NLS, and the Panel Survey on Income Dynamics. Each of these data sets is described, and several proposals as offered on how each might be improved for purposes of migration analysis. Search returned 1 items.
