Business Cycle variables include the unemployment rate and household income. Tiebout-sorting variables include cost-of-living, educational expenditures, tax burden, geographic location temperature, and home prices. The regression results show the unemployment rate, household income, education expenditures per capita, and tax burden to be significant determinants of inter-state migration.
