Modeling migration and population displacement in response to environmental and climate change

In this chapter, we provide a brief, state-of-the-science review of the motivations for and uses of multilevel event history models in current research on migration and population displacement due to environmental and climate change. As part of our efforts, we inventory and assess 20 studies published since the early 2000s that have used these models, paying particular attention to such features as the levels of analysis considered, the measure(s) of environmental and climate change used, and model specification(s).
