The paper suggests that future research could focus on estimating the model using available data. The paper also suggests that future research could explore the implications of the model for regional development and migration policy. The paper notes that available earnings data for the standard regions of England and Wales leave a great deal to be desired, and suggests that future research could focus on improving these data.

The study acknowledges the limitations of the data, including the restrictions imposed by the published data. The paper notes that the need for a sub-regional approach to the subject cannot be overemphasised. The study recognizes the problems of estimation, including the prevalence of inter-regional migration studies in Great Britain.
