In this work, a study of commuting labor migration in Germany was carried out using the method of gravity models. As a result of the analysis of flows between 400 German regions in the period 2013–2019, there were identified factors that have a positive or negative effect on the intensity of commuting movements. During the study, there were highlighted the advantages and disadvantages of the main methods for studying migration flows. The key method for evaluating the model was the Pseudo-Poisson maximum likelihood method (PPML).
