Quantitative assessment of asylum-related migration : a survey of methodology

The report presents an overview and typology of existing empirical models of asylum-related migration, followed by an analysis of empirical data available for modelling purposes, and by an evaluation of models prepared in specific countries and by international organisations. Its key aims are to identify, review and assess the various quantitative models for explaining and predicting asylum-related migration, and to aid the development of a bespoke European asylum model in the longer term, as a part of the wider work programme of the European Asylum Support Office (EASO).
