The authors present a selection of analytical research concerning migration decision-making in the United States. The focus is primarily on such noneconomic factors associated with migration as individual characteristics, ecological factors, and community involvement and satisfaction. "This volume documents that social foundations of migration continue to be instrumental in motivating people to move or to stay. Despite the prevalent metaphoric acceptance of an economic model as the explanation governing how people behave, the analyses of migration presented here indicate that noneconomic factors continue to help determine why, when, where and who moves."
