Abstract
Three major hypotheses have been employed to predict how gross out-migration and gross in-migration for different regions will respond as the economics incentives for net migration change in those regions - standard hypothesis, the Lowry hypothesis, and the Beale hypothesis. The major difference in the three hypotheses lie in their conclusions regarding the expected marginal responce of gross out-migration to changing economic incentives to move. The primary contention of this paper is that none of the above hypotheses offers a comletely satisfactory characterization of the responsiveness of out migration to economic forces because each hypothesis fails to make a clear distinction between short run and long run responsiveness.
