Abstract

Alaska is a state with high rates of both internal and external migration. This paper focuses on internal migration and place-level economic characteristics to establish migration as a preference signal. The Migration Preference Indices and Douglas well-being measures calculated from Census data reveal a connection between migration and place-level well-being.
