Temporal Effects in Migration Measurement: Evidence from Geo-Referenced Digital Trace Data

Emilio Zagheni; in Collaboration with Guy Abel (Shanghai University, China), Johnathan Wayne Hill, Lee Fiorio (both: University of Washington, Seattle, USA), Gabriel Pestre (Data-Pop Alliance, New York, USA), Emmanuel Letouzé (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, USA), Jixuan Cai (The Chinese University of Hong Kong, China)

Geo-referenced digital trace data often provide detailed information about people’s movements. This project leverages the spatial and temporal granularity of such data to measure aggregate population flows at multiple time scales.  Detailed Description
