Аннотация
Our study employs the network approach to the problem of international migration. For the last years, migration has been drawn a lot of attention and has been examined from many points of view, however, very few studies considered it from the network perspective. The international migration can be represented as a network (or weighted-directed graph) where the nodes correspond to countries and the edges correspond to migration flows. The main focus of our study is to reveal a set of critical or central elements in the network. To do it, we calculated different existing centrality measures. Unfortunately, these measures do not take into account individual properties of nodes as well as interaction intensities between different nodes. Thus, there have been designed several long-range interaction (LRI) indices that consider these features. LRI indices are based on two main ideas: the first one is the analysis of the influence between nodes through paths between them and the second one is the analysis of the influence with the help of simulations. Another important issue is to analyze the evolution of the network and to examine how a set of critical elements is changed over time. In our research the United Nations International Migration Flows Database (version 2008, 2015) was used. The database provides the annual dyadic estimates of migration flows between countries from 1970 to 2013. As a result, we obtained an information on critical elements of the network and showed how it is changed in dynamic.
