Bilateral international migration flow estimates for 200 countries (1990-1995 to 2010-2015)

Version Details<br>Update of estimates of international migration flows from Abel &amp; Cohen (2019) based on newly published International Migrant Stock (IMS2019) data inputs by the United Nations and the most recent WPP (WPP2019). See Version 1 (link above) for estimates presented in the paper, based on WPP2017 and IMS2017.<br>A description of the changes in the estimates can be found here<br>Note: I had previously uploaded this file as a separate figshare data set. Moved the file here, as an update, so it is easier to follow using version control. <br><br><br>Data Details<br><br>Row for each migration corridor - period combination (200 origins x 200 destinations x 5 periods = 200,000).<br>year0 - first year of five year periodorig - origin ISO three letter country codedest - destination ISO three letter country<br> Columns for estimates based on the following migration flow estimation methods:<b><br>Stock Differencing Approaches:</b><br><br>sd_drop_neg - see for example Beine, M., Docquier, F., &amp; Özden, Ç.
