We find that the inflow of TFWs into a … of permanent immigrants selected through the Canadian point system. On average, each inflow of 100 TFWs is found to …

Compared with the widely used logit model, the structure of a CNL model allows for more sophisticated … substitution patterns between destinations. To illustrate the relevance of our approach, we provide a case study using migration …
