KALASHNIKOV, Vyacheslav et al. A Model of Human Migration: Numerical Experiments Based on the Data of Three Lake Cities. Estud. demogr. urbanos [online]. 2007, vol.22, n.3, pp.731-760. ISSN 2448-6515.  https://doi.org/10.24201/edu.v22i3.1278.

We extend a human migration model and apply it to study the growth of population in three agglomerated cities in the Laguna region in Mexico. Three different types of utility functions for various groups of population are proposed, and a conjectural variations equilibrium is investigated. Numerical experiments demonstrate the strong influence of conjectural coefficients upon the expected migration activity.

Keywords : human migration model; conjectural variations equilibrium.
