This article provides a practical guide to using a two-level logistic model to analyze macro migration data. It explains the estimation method provides subroutines for carrying out the estimation through a program in the BMDP package and uses an empirical example to show how the parameters are to be estimated and interpreted. The example is based on 1971-1978 data on annual labor force migration among the 11 provinces of the Netherlands. (EXCERPT)
