International migration has huge economic, social and political
consequences and as a result there is growing demand for
evidence-based policies. This has long been unfeasible due to
inaccuracies in migration data, caused, for example, by different
data sources employing different definitions and different
collection methods. However, in recent years methods involving the
use of models have been developed to derive reliable estimates of
migration. International Migration in Europe draws together modern
statistical approaches to provide a unified treatment of these
methods, allowing a consistent and dependable set of migration
flows to be developed.
The book:
Uses European-based real data to demonstrate migration
estimation and modelling tools, with worldwide applications.
Explores the modelling techniques from both the frequentist and
Bayesian perspectives.
Discusses vital concepts in detail, such as missing data and
collection methods.
Includes chapters dedicated to the key areas of modelling asylum
flows and migration forecasting.
Is authored by the leading experts working in migration data and
models.
Is supported by a supplementary website featuring further
reading material.
International Migration in Europe is primarily aimed at
academics, undergraduate and graduate students in the fields of
demography, statistics, geography, sociology, economics and
political science. However, this is also an important book for
government statisticians responsible for publishing migration data,
as well as analysts working on migration-related topics such as
planning and demography at all levels, from local to
international.
