Project

Modeling and Analysis of Migration and Mobility among Scholars

Samin Aref, Tom Theile, Emilio Zagheni; in Collaboration with Ebru Sanlitürk, Francesco Billari (both: Bocconi University, Milan, Italy), Andrea Miranda-González (University of California, Berkeley, USA), West Jevin (University of Washington, Seattle, USA), Alexander Subbotin (Lomonosov Moscow State University, Russian Federation)

Digital trace data give us unprecedented opportunities for understanding patterns of mobility among scholars, testing existing migration theories and developing new ones. This project leverages large-scale bibliometric data to measure and model the migration of scholars on a global scale.  Detailed Description
