Abstract
In the last 20 years Spain has experienced a significant increase of internal mobility, in particular from the peripheral to the core regions, as well as an extraordinary inflow of workers coming from all around the world, which also tend to settle down in the core regions. Using the analytical regions proposed by Polèse et al. (in Eur Urban Reg Stud 14(2): 157–180, 2007), which allow us to distinguish between core (central) and peripheral regions, and a multiregional model based on Fernández-Vázquez et al. (in Ann Reg Sci 46(1): 189–204, 2010), this paper considers both migration and commuting flows and explores the chain of effects that the arrival of new workers have in the regions located in the centre.
Zusammenfassung
In den vergangenen 20 Jahren erlebte Spanien einen bedeutenden Anstieg der Binnenmobilität, insbesondere eine Binnenwanderung von den peripheren in die zentralen Regionen. Gleichzeitig kam es zu einem Massenzustrom von Gastarbeitern aus aller Welt, die sich ebenfalls in den Zentrumsregionen niederliessen. Unter Anwendung des analytischen Regionalmodells von Polèse et al. (in Eur Urban Reg Stud 14(2): 157–180, 2007), welches uns die Unterscheidung zwischen peripheren und zentralen Regionen ermöglicht, sowie eines Multiregion-Modell, basierend auf Fernández-Vázquez et al. (in Ann Reg Sci 46(1): 189–204, 2010), berücksichtigt der vorliegende Beitrag beide Ströme, sowohl die Binnen- wie die Einwanderung, um die Wirkungskette ausgelöst durch die eintreffenden Arbeitsmigranten in den Kernregionen zu untersuchen.
