Students' University Mobility Patterns in Europe

Edited by:

Massimo Attanasio, University of Palermo, Italy


Description text:

This thematic series collects some papers on Italian student mobility. The aim of this thematic series is twofold. First, to describe the phenomenon which is important not only from the point of view of universities but also because of its negative socio-economic implications for the South of Italy. Second, to propose new applications of statistical methods for this topic, applications which can be extended to other forms of migration, too.
