Recent Irish migration: a note on a neglected data source.

View original source ↗Export metadata ↓

Abstract

"This paper uses unpublished tabulations from the British Labour Force Survey of 1977 to provide an independent estimate of net migration to Ireland over the period 1971-79.... The paper also describes the characteristics of Irish emigrants to Britain in the year preceding the survey. Notwithstanding sustained net immigration since 1971, Ireland still experiences a significant outflow of economically active migrants. The skill level of such migrants would appear to be somewhat higher than that of their predecessors." (SUMMARY IN FRE)

Probability estimation when some observations are grouped.

This paper considers the use of additional questions for decreasing survey non-response rates and an approach for estimating a probability based on the results obtained. In a survey, the respondents are asked to answer an original question and follow-up questions, where the answers for the follow-up questions are grouped answers for the original question. For example, respondents are asked to provide an exact number of incidents, but in cases of 'Do not know' or 'Refuse' responses, they are subsequently asked to pick an answer from a less specific categorical scale. The new estimator obtains smaller variance asymptotically and does not depend on a distribution family. This method is applied to income questions in a survey regarding injury prevention and behaviours. Another application is survey data on intimate partner violence, where some amendments were applied for incorporating post-stratification weights and for using non-random grouping. For additional illustration, an example of parameter estimation on artificially generated data is presented.
