Summary/Abstract: The aim of the research is to indicate the influence of economic determinants of interregional migration flows in Poland in the years 1999—2015. The analysis was conducted on the basis of data from the Local Data Bank of Statistics Poland using descriptive methods of migration flows differentiation analysis, wages and unemployment rates in time and space and spatial econometrics methods: the least squares method (LSM), generalised method of moments (GMM), logistic models and fixed effects models. The conclusions of the research are as follows: migration inflows are most strongly influenced by relative wages, and outflows by the relative unemployment rate. Moreover, migrants decide to change their place of residence, taking into account a spatial factor.
