Spatial-temporal marked point processes are investigated through the construction of a highly flexible and computationally fast simulation algorithm based on the simple stochastic immigration-death process and a general deterministic growth-interaction process. Issues discussed include the range of pattern structures, estimation approaches and convergence to high-intensity patterns.

The last 20 years of sociodemographic history in Spain cannot be interpreted without considering the impact foreign immigration, numerous publications have shown. aim this article is to contribute a clear spatial representation migrants by combining statistical and mapping methods. Maps showing rate variation immigrant populations point existence an uneven distribution around Spain, during both...

Immigration laws that militarize communities may exacerbate ethno-racial health disparities. We aimed to document the prevalence of and ways in which immigration enforcement policy and militarization of the US-Mexico border is experienced as everyday violence. Militarization is defined as the saturation of and pervasive encounters with immigration officials including local police enacting immig...

Abstract In a number of recent elections in Western Europe, support for far-right populist parties has been significantly higher non-urban areas than urban areas. This paper answers the following questions; (1) Can urban–rural divide voting behavior be explained by fact that and populations differ terms education, income other individual characteristics voters, or variations immigration? (2) pu...

a r t i c l e i n f o This paper shows that a family of the Dixit–Stiglitz type of new economic geography models is capable of simulating the real-world tendency for agglomeration to the primate city. It is often observed that while regional populations were dispersed in early times, they have been increasingly concentrated into one capital region over recent years. The present paper thus chara...

Immigration and House Prices in the UK This article studies the effect of immigration on house prices in the UK. It finds that immigration has a negative effect on house prices and presents evidence that this negative effect is due to the mobility response of the native population. Natives respond to immigration by moving to different areas and those who leave are at the top of the wage distrib...

Today, the the development of a mathematical models for population growth of great importance in many fields. The growth and decline of real populations can in many cases be well approximated by the solutions of a stochastic differential equations. However, there are many solutions in which the essentially random nature of population growth should be taken into account. In this paper, we approx...

BACKGROUND The growing prevalence of migrant children in diverse contexts requires a reconsideration of the intergenerational consequences of migration. To understand how migration and duration of residence are associated with children's schooling, we need more comparative work that can point to the similarities and differences in outcomes for children across contexts. OBJECTIVE This paper ad...
