A simultaneous-equations analysis of urban development: migration and industrial growth in Israel's new towns

Article Abstract:

Recent development patterns in Israel's new towns are analyzed through application of a simultaneous-equations econometric model. The model allows specification and testing of causal interactions among factors such as migration, industrial investment, work, and other structural policy variables that can alter urban development. Results confirm the significance of economic opportunity, the effects of agglomeration, demography, and access in determining migration flows. Unemployment and investment indices are also subject to the influence of local labor market conditions, incentives offered by government, regional development impacts, demographics, and migration flows. Government policy implications of the analysis are examined.
