Patterns of location of immigrants in Spain

Abstract

This TFG tries to analyse the patterns that determine the location of immigrants in the different Spanish provinces through a Logit-Conditional model. The study is focused on the analysis of migrant’s inflows to Spain, the main idea is to detect the determinants of localization that consider the foreign population when decide to came to Spain, which provinces? Economic or tourism reasons? Coast or inside? Answer to these questions allows to know the motivation of immigrants to locate their households, and therefore to adequate political decisions to the different migration patterns. For a methodological point of view, location pattern has been detected using a logit conditional model that allows to ask following question: why a foreign people decide to locate in a province and not in the others?
