IntroductionIntroduction• 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

Main conclusionsMain 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

IMEM designIMEM 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

SummarySummary• We have 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
• We plan to continue improving and expanding the model as new funding and data become available

Contributions of the IMEM Contributions of the IMEM
projectproject• 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

Usefulness of an integrated Usefulness of an integrated migration estimation systemmigration 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

RecommendationsRecommendations• Short term: Statistical modelling
o It will take time to develop and organise the procedures and methodology for sharing migration information across countries
o The modelling should be conducted by an independent organisation with inputs received directly from national statistical offices
• Long term: Communicationo Statistical models will still be required to capture some
features of the migration measurement processes, such as accuracy of the collection system or undercount
