Abstract
In this paper the role of migrant networks in determining patterns of out-migration is examined. Conditions under which migration equilibriu m may permit multiple steady states are identified. The analysis discu sses instances where migration generates its own demand and explains d ifferences in migration propensities across potential sources of out-m igration.
