Overcoming the Problems of Inconsistent International Migration data: A New Method Applied to Flows in Europe

This study examines how migration data might be harmonised across Europe, using a case study of 19 European countries between 2000 and 2007. It makes use of a strategy pioneered in 1993 by Poulain that takes into account both varying definitions between countries and measurement errors such as underreporting. The article covers data and methodology used as well as a critical look at the results.
