缺乏一个指导分析境内移徙的综合框架。本研究从三个重要方面对家庭移民文献作出了贡献。我们开发了一个多层次的理论框架，强调整合个人，家庭和邻里水平的影响，引入多层次的统计建模，并明确评估基于经济的解释变量的影响如何因性别而异。我们的数据来自收入动态小组研究（PSID）。我们发现，家庭迁移的可能性受到经济和非经济因素的影响，其中一些因性别而异。我们通过发现妻子不太可能是捆绑移动者来补充双职工移民文献，但丈夫可能是捆绑逗留者。邻里因素对移徙的决定也很重要。
A comprehensive framework for guiding analyses of internal migration is lacking. This study contributes to the family migration literature in three important ways. We develop a multilevel theoretical framework emphasizing an integration of individual-, family-, and neighborhood-level effects; introduce multilevel statistical modeling; and explicitly assess how effects of economic-based explanatory variables vary by gender. Our data are from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID). We find that the likelihood of a family migrating is affected by economic and non-economic factors, some of which vary by gender. We add to the dual-earner migration literature by finding that wives are not likely to be tied-movers, but husbands are likely to be tied-stayers. Neighborhood factors also are important to the decision to migrate.
