Comment on M. J. Greenwood's 'Simultaneity Bias in Migration Models: An Empirical Examination,
Abstract
The main purpose of Michael Greenwood's recent article ('Simultaneity Bias in Migration Models: An Empirical Examination,' Demography, Vol. 12, No. 3, August 1975, pp. 519-536) is to examine empirically the importance of simultaneity bias in standard models of migration. The problem of disentangling cause and effect between migration and 'explanatory' variables is an important one that has plagued nearly every migration researcher and hence deserves careful attention. However, the commentator feels that Greenwood's attempt to assess the importance of simultaneity bias and his study in general are flawed in several respects.
