Summary/Abstract: In this paper we estimate the determinants of inter-regional migration of Czech population in the years 1992 – 2001. Despite the increasing disparities among the regions, we find that the migration rate remains at relatively low levels and economic variables such as unemployment or wages matter only to a certain extent. The results indicate that liquidity constraints play a role and therefore, migration rates are higher only among richer regions.
