| Description | The key research findings were the following: o In north-western Europe before 1800 two relatively similar migration systems existed: one focused on London, one focused on the urban cores of Holland o There was relatively little overlap between the two systems. In other words the two migration systems operated in relative isolation o In both systems migration played a critical role in economic development |
| Exploitation Route | This project ended several years ago (in 2008). The publications deriving from the project have been cited in various academic publications and its findings were essential for two other projects the PI has since awarded funding for: a project funded by the British Academy and one by the ESRC: ES/J000574/2. |

| Description | This projected (it was a postdoctoral fellowship) ended in 2008. It was not very 'impact-focused and mainly generated academic output. However, it was essential in understanding the functioning of migration systems in pre-1800 Europe and as such was an essential building block for the PI's later ESRC-funded project (ES/J000574/2) which aims to explain the effect of labour migration and human capital on economic performance. |
