This book presents the culmination of our collaborative research, going back over 15 years (Rogers & Little, 1994), and for one of us, even longer (Rogers, 1967, 1973). It addresses a dif cult, yet necessary, area of demographic research: what to do in data situations characterized by irregular, inadequate, or missing data. A common solution within the demographic community has been what is generally referred to as indirect estimation. In our work the focus has been on the indirect estimation of migration, and our use of the term indirect follows the description given in the 1983 United Nations manual, which de ned it as techniques suited for analysis of incomplete or defective demographic data (United Nations, 1983, p. 1). We wrote this book with a goal to make it accessible to a reader familiar with introductory statistical modeling, at the level of regression and categorical data an- ysis using log linear models. It is primarily intended to serve as a reference work for demographers, sociologists, geographers, economists, and regional planners.

From the reviews:

The book contains much of interest to established researchers, but it should also prove helpful to those new to the area of migration modelling given its lucid descriptions of methods, simple examples and an accompanying website which contains data and programs. this is an impressive volume. The Indirect Estimation of Migration should provide an excellent reference for any researcher or practitioner involved in migration and projections research who has to deal with imperfect migration data.
