The mathematics of a push-pull model are shown to incorporate many of Ravenstein's laws of migration, to be equivalent to a quadratic transportation problem, and to be related to the mathematics of classical continuous-flow models. These results yield an improved class of linear spatial interaction models. Empirical results are presented for one country.
