“…Much of this evidence concerns contemporary immigration to the United States and argues that previous migrations have strong influences on later moves. A subset of such studies includes Hatton and Williamson (1998), Hatton (1995), Dunlevy (1991), Dunlevy and Gemery (1977), Jasso and Rosenzweig (1986), Massey and España (1987), Levy and Wadycki (1973), and Wilkinson (1970). These scholars claim that the probability of migrating increased if the person had relatives at the destination.…”

Between 1820 and 1930 over 5 million Germans emigrated to overseas destinations, most to the U.S. By the 1850s the number of German migrants living in the U.S. was large, a consequence partly of cumulative causation. I provide evidence for the dramatic increase in networks by using micro-level data for the German principality of Hesse-Cassel in the mid-nineteenth century. A conservative measurement of network relationships finds that after 25 years almost half of them were related to a previous family member from the same village. Migrants who used family networks tended to move in small units. Usually only a few years separated networked family members, but some links lasted over a decade. Women were unlikely to start a network but more likely than men to travel to the U.S. Within some families, migrants switched from continental destinations to the U.S., perhaps due to the failure of the 1848 March Revolution.

“…for a general discussion. This approach has ample precedent in the migration literature (see, e.g., Dunlevy andGemery 1976, 1977a, b;Dunlevy 1991;Walsh 1974. ) A basis exists, therefore, for the inclusion of both migrant stock and lagged migration in models of migration.…”

In a recent contribution to this Journal Anjomani and Hariri present an interesting study of United States interstate migration which explicitly incorporates so-called "flow diversion" and "flow creation" effects. Their discussion and evaluation of the model, however, are marred by several factors. This paper contrasts the roles of migrant stock and lagged migration in migration analysis and then addresses (a) the problems encountered when the "family-friends" effect is proxied with measures of lagged migrant flows, (b) the problem of using a twoperiod lagged value of earlier migrant flow as an explanatory variable, and (c) this paper suggests an alternative method of correcting the Anjomani-Hariri model's problems with multicollinearity.
