Each zip file contains shape files (365 or 366 files daily). There is a separate zip file for each year (1989-2021).

A Youtube video is also available at here. The dataset is available in the ESRI Shapefile format for each conflict dyad at a daily level. The conflict zones are created from the UCDPGED event data (version 22.1) with a machine learning method, so-called a one-class support vector machine, which is detailed here. Higher rates of asylum recognition by host countries act as an important pull factor, positively correlated with receiving additional new asylum claims.Ĭontribution: This paper contributes to the empirical literature on the determinants of international forced migration by empirically examining the latest bilateral migration data and the associations with armed conflict and growing forms of organized violence in the origin countries.Update (): The dataset is updated to UCDPGED 22.1. Results also show that economic conditions, the presence of previous migrant communities in the destination country, distance, and presence of a common language between the origin and destination countries are relevant drivers of new asylum applications. Results suggest that people flee terror and war but also violence and insecurity emerging from non-conflict-affected areas and perpetrated by different criminal actors. Results: The intensity of the conflict and where the fighting is taking place explain an essential portion of the variation in flows of asylum applications and stocks of refugees. Methods: We explore different measures that capture the severity and geographical spread of armed conflicts and link them to the dependent variables by fitting a gravity model. Objective: The main aim is to empirically investigate the relationship that armed conflicts have with first-time asylum applications and refugee stocks in and outside Europe. This paper analyzes recent trends of increasing asylum applications and refugee stocks and examines the influence of conflicts, as well as political and economic factors, as primary push and pull factors. Background: The growing relevance of migration in the policy agenda of both host and sending countries asks for a better understanding of factors shaping migration processes.
