Aims
The course will focus on the modelling of migration intentions, a relatively recent type of outcome measure.
The first part will be devoted to the presentation of the migration intentions
- How can we measure migration intentions?
- How does it differ from actual migration movements?
- What are the main determinants of these intentions and how does it differ from findings on actual movements of people?
- Presentation of the Gallup World Poll survey and presentation of its limitation.
The second part will be devoted to more exploratory issues related to the modelling approach.
- Failure to account for the hypothesis of independence of irrelevant alternatives (IIA) in the modelling of migration intentions (and movements).
- Accounting for violations of IIA within the Random Utility framework: a cross-nested approach.
Learning Objectives
At the end of this course, students will have a broad overview of the recent literature devoted to the economic analysis of international migration and in particular of the migration intentions. After this course, students will be able to understand the key elements of the migration intention measures and their modeling.
