Emilio Zagheni; in Collaboration with Yuan Hsiao (University of Washington, Seattle, USA), Francesco Rampazzo (University of Oxford, United Kingdom), Lee Fiorio, Jonathan Wakefield (both: University of Washington, Seattle, USA), Jakub Bijak (University of Southampton, United Kingdom), Agnese Vitali (University of Trento, Italy), Monica Alexander (University of Toronto, Canada), Ingmar Weber (Saarland University, Saarbrücken, Germany)

We develop a sound statistical framework for combining the timeliness of digital trace data and the representativeness of traditional sources in order to estimate and "nowcast" migration stocks and flows.  Detailed Description

The infographic describes the structure of a framework to estimate migrant stocks using digital traces and survey data
