Özet:

Internal migration, where individuals leave where they live and move to another residential area within the same country due to the social, political or economic reasons, affects both the migration-receiving and emigrating regions. Internal migration that accompanies regional differentiations depending on time and space, gave rise to social and economic differentiations on a regional basis with the redistribution of the population. The aim of this study is to analyze the effect of internal migration on regional inequality in Turkey. In this context the effect of internal migration on regional inequality will be analyzed with panel data econometrics. Level 1 based migration data concerning the years of 2008-2015 was used for the migration statistics. The findings of the study are as follows; Internal emigrationincreases regional inequality, whereas receiving internal migration decreases the regional inequality.
