AnnotationPrevious studies of elderly migration in the United States (US) have investigated permanent migration using Census data. This study used household (micro) data from statewide surveys conducted in Arizona and Minnesota to analyse seasonal migration as an economic decision. Estimation of logistic regression models for each state indicated that age and income are important determinants, whereas these variables have not proven significant in previous studies based on aggregate data. The study concluded that seasonal migration may be an integral part of the life cycle of elderly migration. (AKM).
