“…Holding all else constant, interprovincial migration decreases as distance increases. Regarding the sub-groups, it has emerged, both in some European countries (Finney & Simpson, 2008 ;Maza et al, 2019 ;Vidal & Windzio, 2012 ) and in Italy (Casacchia et al, 2019 ;Lamonica & Zagaglia, 2013 ), that the negative effect of physical distance for foreigners is greater, compared with that of nationals as we found in the descriptive analysis (Table 1 ). This could be due to the fact that immigrants often live only for a short period of time in the place of their first arrival, and then make short distance movements as they have the chance to improve their housing situation (Silvestre & Reher, 2014 ).…”

“…Distance has a negative effect: the greater the distance between origin and destination, the smaller the migration flows (Kim & Cohen, 2010). Although studies on distance have been controversial, we put forward the hypothesis that the effect of distance is stronger for a certain number of foreign citizenships than for Italians (Casacchia et al, 2019). Furthermore, we included the unemployment rate ( U i and U j ) as a proxy of the labour market, and the percentage of highly educated adults aged 25–64 ( E i and E j ) as a proxy of human capital.…”

“…These variables can be expressed by rates of unemployment of a given province (Fratesi & Percoco, 2014 ;Piras, 2012 ) or by the percentage of the population with high educational qualifications (Casacchia et al, 2019 ;Etzo, 2011 ;Piras, 2012 ). This enables the study to examine the role of different explanatory variables by checking for other socio-economic conditions in the different areas.…”

“…The presence of foreigners is a pull factor for Italians, as a proxy of other variables, but cannot be considered a push factor. A considerable foreign population appears to be an indirect sign of the economic dynamism of a specific territory (Casacchia et al, 2019 ).…”

Immigrationfigures have increased over time, reaching unforeseen levels in the first decade of the 21st century. Indeed, Italy and Spain have joined the ranks of the more attractive destinations on the world scale of international migration (Sobotka, 2009;Strozza, 2010). Italy has seen a gradual increase in its resident foreign population, a rise which has stemmed in part from periodic special regularizations of illegal aliens (Bonifazi & Strozza, 2020;Strozza, 2019).

This paper analyses the consequences on demographic changes observed in the municipalities of Abruzzo region after the earthquake of L'Aquila in 2009. Relying on Italian National Institute of Statistics (Istat) data on the population in the municipalities, we aim to understand how population growth changed after the earthquake, analysing population dynamics both in the municipalities affected by the earthquake and in the other municipalities of the Abruzzo region. We apply a spatial regression model to understand the associations between population growth, the earthquake, and some demographic and economic variables, taking into account the spatial autocorrelation. Our findings confirm the importance of space and the close association of the population dynamics after the earthquake with the population age structure, both in the pre‐existing situation and in the subsequent dynamics. Population trends in the Abruzzo region were closely associated with the pre‐existing vulnerabilities. The effect of the earthquake was strong in the crater municipalities in the period immediately after the shock, while it petered out over time. A destructive earthquake implies a tremendous shock, however, in places that are already suffering from demographic, social, and economic fragility, pre‐existing factors can act equally or even more strongly on the population dynamics in the medium term. Hence, in the medium period, the characteristics of the population and socio‐economic context are stronger than in the short one, and also the effect that space and territorial contiguities have on these and other nonobservable variables is stronger than in the short period.

This paper reviews the literature on the internal mobility of international migrants and their descendants in Europe from an interdisciplinary perspective. Europe is becoming increasingly diverse. Where international migrants live and move to after arriving in their destination country influences both individual life courses and macro‐level population compositions. So far, a comprehensive overview of internal mobility patterns and drivers among migrants is missing. The aim of this paper is threefold: first, to discuss the development of the field across disciplines; second, to present and reflect on the current state of knowledge of internal mobility of migrants in Europe, and third, to conclude by setting an agenda for future research. This paper stresses the importance of studying the internal mobility of migrant populations over their life courses, testing theories across migrant generations, doing more justice to population diversity, strengthening the link between the literature on internal and international migration, and finally, emphasises the need for comparative research.
