Abstract
Two decades ago, David Plane introduced several tools for analyzing the redistribution of money associated with interregional migration flows (Plane D, Int J Popul Geogr 5:195–212, 1999). But, although these seminal tools were totally correct, they did not deliver all of what they could aspire to because, in several instances, they were not pushed to their logical end. The purpose of this chapter thus is to revisit Plane’s tools and to rework them to reveal their full potential for understanding how interregional migration flows affect a region’s aggregate and per capita income.
