The adepts of international migration have attempted to develop models that can be usedto examine the underlying factors that push the migrants to take the decision of leavingthe country of origin. The have tried to analyse the way in which the difference in thesocioeconomic determinants between spatial entities (countries, regions and provinces)may affect the decision of people to immigrate. This work has recommended first to verifyempirically the validation of the theory of migratory basins within one country and toidentify variables that clarify the intent of emigration. With respect to the Moroccancontext, this work presents a two-fold interest. On the methodological level, thiscontribution is, to our knowledge, the first application of the micro econometric spatialapproach on the data collected during our investigation. At the analytical level, thefindings of this work complement those of the few descriptive studies. Subsequently, theresults of this research should be used to reflect deeply upon the public policies related toemigration.
