Replication data for: Migration response to drought in Mali

The project consists in combining population census data and climate data to estimate the volume of migrations induced by the drought events that have hit Mali since the late 1980s (A WP describing the research objectives, related literature, methodology and main results can be found here: ideas.repec.org). All the datasets used in the paper are provided here, i.e. data on net migration rates and international emigration rates at the locality level computed from 1987, 1998 and 2009 Malian censuses, combined with data on drought episodes in Mali over the 1987-2009 period computed using the Standardized Precipitation-Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) from the high-resolution (0.5°x 0.5°) gridded dataset developed by Vicente-Serrano et al. (2010).
