Synopsis "estimating migration flows from inadequate data"

this book sets out formal methods for indirectly inferring migration flows from successive counts of population stocks. stocks have in the past been used to infer patterns of mortality and, indeed, of net migration. but no one has developed a workable method for using population stock data to indirectly estimate directional (i.e., origin-destination-specific) migration flows. that has been the goal of the research described here. the results it has produced will be useful to at least three user communities: (1) historical demographers and geographers seeking to identify changing mobility patterns hidden in the recently available historical population censuses that lack a migration question, (2) migration analysts studying mobility patterns in data poor less-developed countries, and (3) population researchers faced with the prospective loss of migration data contained in the to-be-eliminated long form questionnaire of past u.s. decennial censuses and its replacement by a significantly smaller continuous monthly sampling survey called the american community survey (acs).
