International migration in Europe: data, models and estimates

The first book to provide a unified treatment of the subject, International Migration in Europe: Data, Models and Estimates draws together models to allow a consistent and reliable set of migration flows, across countries, potentially improving policies, planning and understanding about migration processes worldwide, via the presentation of migration estimation and modeling techniques. These modeling techniques are explored from both frequentist and Bayesian perspectives. INDICE: 1. Introduction (James Raymer and Frans Willekens). I. DATA ISSUES. 2.
