Description:	My work in migration modeling and regional population dynamics and projections began in 1965, shortly after I had started to work on two reports for the California State Development Plan, as a member of the Center for Planning and Development Research at the University of California at Berkeley. I had never taken a course in demography, and at that time was a post-doctoral student in operations research, having just completed an advanced course on stochastic processes, which included lectures on Markov chains. Those lectures motivated and shaped my efforts to introduce a spatial dimension to the demographer’s non-spatial cohort-survival population projection model—efforts which culminated in the publication in 1966 of my first article on the subject in the journal Demography and in 1968 the publication of my first book: Matrix Analysis of Interregional Population Growth and Distribution (Rogers 1968). Two years later, I moved to Northwestern University, and with the help of two superior doctoral students, Jacques Ledent and Frans Willekens, developed a formal demographic paradigm that I called multiregional demography. Soon thereafter, in 1975, my second book on population modeling: Introduction to Multiregional Mathematical Demography was published, and Willekens and I moved to Austria to join the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), an East–West think-tank housed in a Habsburg palace, located just outside of Vienna, in a little town called Laxenburg. Shortly after, we were joined by Ledent and another graduate student of mine, Luis Castro, as well as a multinational collection of scholars who joined us for varying periods of time at IIASA to contribute to our work on multiregional demography. In 1983, I moved to the Institute of Behavioral Science (IBS) and the Department of Geography at the University of Colorado in Boulder where, with the help of another collection of my graduate students, I continued to carry out research on topics related to multiregional demography, focusing especially on various applications of that methodology, publishing my third, fourth, and fifth books on multiregional demography. In 1995, John Wiley and Sons issued my sixth book on this particular topic, Multiregional Demography: Principles, Methods and Extensions. Finally, in 2010 Springer published my book on the indirect estimation of migration, co-authored with my former Ph.D. students Jani Little and James Raymer
