On the determinants of global bilateral migration flows
Crespo Cuaresma, Jesús; Moser, Mathias; Raggl, Anna - 2013
We present a method aimed at estimating global bilateral migration flows and assessing their determinants. We employ that fact that available net migration figures for a country are (nonlinear) aggregates of migration flows from and to all other countries of the world in order to construct a...
