Introduction• Since 2007, there have been two international
and interdisciplinary projects on estimating international migration flows in Europeo MIMOSA funded by Eurostat, 2007-2009o IMEM funded by New Opportunities for Research Funding
Agency Co-operation in Europe (NORFACE), 2009-2012

IMEM project• The project brought together expertise in
modelling, data and uncertaintyo Southampton Statistical Sciences Research Institute
• James Raymer (PI), Jon Forster, Peter Smith, Jakub Bijak and Arkadiusz Wiśniowski
o Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute• Rob van der Erf, Janette Schoorl and Joop de Beer

IMEM design• Bayesian model for harmonising and correcting
the inadequacies in the available data and for estimating the completely missing flows
• The methodology is integrated and capable of providing measures of uncertainty
• Key aspects of our methodology:o Development of the underlying statistical frameworko Elicitation and inclusion of relevant expert prior information
• Scope: flows amongst 31 European countries by age and sex, 2002-2008
• Adopted definition according to United Nations 1998 recommendation

Summary• We produced a set of harmonised and
complete estimates of migration by origin, destination, age and sex for the 31 countries in the EU and EFTA from 2002-2008
• Some results are available on the interneto http://www.cpc.ac.uk/research_programme/IMEM_project.php
• Our plan is to continue improving and expanding the model as new funding and data become available
![Page 28: Information exchange and modelling: Solutions to imperfect data on population movements](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070400/56813556550346895d9cb99e/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Contributions of the IMEM project
• A methodology for estimating harmonised flows of international migration by age and sex
• Integration of a measurement model with covariate information and expert judgments to estimate missing flows
• Estimates include measures of uncertainty
![Page 29: Information exchange and modelling: Solutions to imperfect data on population movements](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070400/56813556550346895d9cb99e/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Usefulness of an integrated migration estimation system
• Single resource for policy making and research
• Reference for data validation• Platform for sharing information, harmonising
definitions and removing inconsistencies• A data source for countries with inadequate
collection systems
![Page 30: Information exchange and modelling: Solutions to imperfect data on population movements](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070400/56813556550346895d9cb99e/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Main conclusions• Reported flows on international migration
data are highly inconsistent and incomplete• Expert knowledge on data collection systems
is needed to understand the reported flows• Real improvements in the data requires
information exchange between national statistical offices
• In the absence of communication, statistical modelling is necessary to reconcile inconsistent data and to estimate missing data
• Uncertainty measures are necessary for understanding the quality of the estimates

Forecasting: Argument for origin-destination migration
flow tables
• Net migration totals (or rates) do not exhibit regularities across age and space that you can depend on
• Forecasts of net migration result in biased population projections
• Reported net migration totals are not simply the difference between immigration and emigration; they contain administrative corrections and other unknown quantities
• Although more cumbersome, flow tables provide flexibility and access to better checks and validation (e.g., origin-destination migrant stock data)
