Abstract
Large internal migration flows are typically viewed as evidence of flexible U.S. labor markets adjusting to asymmetrical regional demand shocks. Yet, amenity‐induced migration flows suggest that they may not necessarily facilitate adjustment to demand shocks and instead may be destabilizing. This paper employs a structural vector autoregression model with long‐run identifying restrictions to account for both labor‐demand and labor‐supply shocks in examining the role of migration in U.S. regional labor‐market fluctuations. The results reveal that less than one‐half of innovations in state migration flows are responses to labor‐demand shocks. It is not until the third period that migrants fill a majority of demand‐induced jobs in a typical state, while it takes about 7 to 8 years for migration flows to fully adjust to labor‐demand shocks. The extent of the migration response also has implications for how much state and local economic development policies benefit original residents.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
