The Queries To Google Search As Predictors Of Migration Flows From Latin America To Spain, Dawid Wladyka Oct 2013

The Queries To Google Search As Predictors Of Migration Flows From Latin America To Spain, Dawid Wladyka

Theses and Dissertations - UTB/UTPA

Recently, the development of global network and ITC technology provided new opportunities to improve the estimations and predictability of migration flows. The activity of users of e-mail and other web-based services was compared in time and space in order to track international human mobility.

This research draws from both experiences. It compares the popularity of migration-to-Spain related queries introduced to Google Search in Argentina, Colombia …
