A Crisis for the Ages: The European Union and the migration Crisis. Jean Monnet/Robert Schuman Paper Series Vol. 15 Special, October 2015

Five months ago most European citizens were unaware of the number of refugees seeking to reach the richest EU Member States like Germany, France, Sweden and the United Kingdom. The first wake up call for Europe was after the Lampedusa tragedy costing the lives of more than 300 refugees on October 3rd, 2013.1 Europeans were shocked, as the world was, to wake up to hear about such tragedy taking place at their doorstep. From 2013 to 2015, the issue of mass-migration from Syria, Eritrea, Somalia and other countries in the region left the front pages of newspapers and the minds of Europeans, but had remained extremely present in the world of experts and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) was calling for actions. The second wake-up call, which marked the beginning of the seriousness of the crisis, was the shipwreck where an estimated 900 migrants died on April 19th, 2015 off the coast of Italy.

Ripple migration directions and grain fabric measurements on ODP Hole 210-1276A sediments

Albian turbidites and intercalated shales were cored from ~1145 to 1700 meters below seafloor at Site 1276 in the Newfoundland Basin. Strata at this level dip ~2.5° seaward (toward an azimuth of ~130°) based on seismic profiles. In contrast, beds dip an average of ~10° in the cores. This higher apparent dip is the sum of the ~2.5° seaward dip and a measured hole deviation of 7.43°, which must be essentially in the same seaward direction. Using the maximum dip direction in the cores as a reference direction, paleocurrents were measured from 11 current-ripple foresets and 11 vector means of grain fabric in planar-laminated sandstones. Five of the planar-laminated sandstone samples have a grain imbrication 8°, permitting specification of a unique flow direction rather than just the line-of-motion of the current. Both ripples and grain fabric point to unconfined flow toward the north-northeast. There is considerable spread in the data so that some paleoflow indicators point toward the northwest, whereas others point southeast. Nevertheless, the overall pattern of paleoflow suggests a source for the turbidity currents on the southeastern Grand Banks, likely from the long-emergent Avalon Uplift in that area. On average, turbidity currents apparently flowed axially in the young Albian rift, toward the north. This is opposite to what might be expected for a northward-propagating rift and a young ocean opening in a zipperlike fashion from south to north.

requirements for Filipino performing artists, effectively closing this migration channel. I employ a difference-in-differences estimation strategy using the share of performing artists at baseline in each Philippine province as a continuous policy variable. International migration falls in response to the policy change by 1.2%. The effect on international migration is larger than the policy change itself would suggest, indicating the importance of spillovers across migrant occupations. Domestically, more children are employed, and adults are more likely to be unemployed or engaged in short-term work.
