    Content: Global matrices of bilateral migrant stocks spanning 1960-2000 are presented, disaggregated by gender and based primarily on the foreign-born definition of migrants. More than one thousand census and population register records are combined to construct decennial matrices corresponding to the five census rounds between 1960 and 2000. For the first time, a comprehensive picture of bilateral global migration over the second half of the 20th century emerges. The data reveal that the global migrant stock increased from 92 million in 1960 to 165 million in 2000. Quantitatively, migration between developing countries dominates, constituting half of all international migration in 2000. When the partition of India and the dissolution of the Soviet Union are accounted for, migration between developing countries is remarkably stable over the period. Migration from developing to developed countries is the fastest growing component of international migration in both absolute and relative terms. The United States has remained the most important migrant destination in the world, home to one fifth of the world's migrants and the top destination for migrants from some 60 sending countries. Migration to Western Europe has come largely from elsewhere in Europe. The oil-rich Persian Gulf countries emerge as important destinations for migrants from the Middle East and North Africa and South and Southeast Asia. Finally, although the global migrant stock is predominantly male, the proportion of female migrants increased noticeably between 1960 and 2000. The number of women rose in every region except South Asia

    Content: Discussions of high-skilled mobility typically evoke migration patterns from poorer to wealthier countries, which ignore movements to and between developing countries. This paper presents, for the first time, a global overview of human capital mobility through bilateral migration stocks by gender and education in 1990 and 2000, and calculation of nuanced brain drain indicators. Building on newly collated data, the paper uses a novel estimation procedure based on a pseudo-gravity model, then identifies key determinants of international migration, and subsequently uses estimated parameters to impute missing data. Non-OECD destinations account for one-third of skilled-migration, while OECD destinations are declining in relative importance

    Content: The NT18 Tewa Pueblos documents, all in English, cover a time span from approximately 1540 to the late twentieth century. Although this collection does deal to some extent with most of the Tewa pueblos of New Mexico – San Juan, Santa Clara, San Ildefonso, Tesuque, Pojoaque, and Nambe - major emphasis in this document is on the two pueblos of San Juan and San Ildefonso. A "classic" study of traditional Tewa ethnography, at least up to 1927, is found in Parsons, focusing on social organization, ritual, and ceremonies, but lacking much information on material culture. Brief culture summaries on some of the other pueblos will be found as follows: San Ildefonso; Santa Clara; Nambe; Pojoaque; Tesuque; and San Juan. Other major topics include population statistics on San Juan in Aberle; recent (twentieth century) culture change in San Ildefonso in Whitman; Tewa world view and the role of dual moiety organization in a functioning society in Ortiz; and details of the Raingod Drama, and the making of medicine men in San Juan in Laski

    Content: The Otavalo Quichua collection documents focus upon a time span from 1940 to 2001, but include significant historical information extending to the late pre-Inca period (ca. AD 1250). Although the Otavalo may now be encountered in major urban areas worldwide, this collection concentrates on core area in Imbabura province, Ecuador (cantons of Otavalo and Cotacachi); In particular, the towns of Peguche, Ilumán and Cotacachi. Parsons is the classic ethnography, providing basic description of material culture, close observation of family life, participant observation in divination, a full chapter of folklore, and good descriptions of the annual round of religious festivals. Wibbelsman's doctoral dissertation focuses almost exclusively on the ritual/festival cycle, while considering its cosmological underpinnings and role in (re)constituting and revivifying and communities ever more engaged with, and living throughout, Ecuador and the world. Solomon details the politico-economic history behind a uniquely successful ethos and means of cultural survival and promotion

    Content: Despite the burgeoning empirical literature providing evidence of a strong and robust positive correlation between trade and migration, doubts persist as to unobserved factors which may be driving this relationship. This paper re-examines the trade-migration nexus using a panel spanning several decades, which comprises the majority of world trade and migration in every decade. First the findings common to the literature are reproduced. Country-pair fixed effects are then used to account for unobserved bilateral factors, the implementation of which removes all of the positive impact of migration on trade. In other words the unobserved factors, a leading candidate for which it is argued is international bilateral ties, are on average strongly and positively correlated with migrant networks. Dividing the world into the relatively affluent North and poorer South, the results show that migrants from either region only affect Northern exports to the South. This is intuitive since in general countries of the North export more differentiated products and information barriers between these regions are greatest. A country-level analysis further shows that migrants may both create and divert trade. Taken as a whole, the results demonstrate the large biases inherent in cross-sectional studies investigating the trade-migration nexus and highlight the extent to which previous results have been overstated

    Series Statement: International Transport Forum Discussion Papers
    Content: The UK National Audit Office (NAO) scrutinises public spending on behalf of Parliament, helping it to hold government departments to account and helping public bodies improve performance and delivery. We publish around 60 value for money studies each year across a range of government activities, of which, around three of these usually cover transport topics. Our reports look at how government projects, programmes and initiatives have been implemented and make recommendations on how it can be improved. Our value for money work is not strictly ex-post assessment in the usual sense of assessing a programme once it has been in operation for some time. Due to the length of time needed to complete major transport investments and our remit to focus on accountability, we often carry out an assessment of a project before its completion. In some cases, particularly for significant infrastructure investments, a series of value for money reports is appropriate as the programme will develop over time. These tend to focus on how the programme is being delivered, in terms of the planning, procurement or construction phases of infrastructure projects
