Estimates migrant transitions flows between two sequential migrant stock tables using differencing approaches commonly used by economists.

stock_start |
Matrix of migrant stock totals at time t. Rows in the matrix correspond to place of birth and columns to place of residence at time t |
stock_end |
Matrix of migrant stock totals at time t+1. Rows in the matrix correspond to place of birth and columns to place of residence at time t+1. |
decrease |
How to treat decreases in bilateral stocks over the t to t+1 period (so as to avoid a negative bilateral flow estimates). See details for possible options. Default is |

Logical value to indicate whether to include diagonal elements of |
Estimates migrant transitions flows between two sequential migrant stock tables.
When decrease = "zero"
all decreases in migrant stocks over there period are set to zero, following the approach of Bertoli and Fernandez-Huertas Moraga (2015)
When decrease = "return"
all decreases in migrant stocks are assumed to correspond to return flows back to their place of birth, following the approach of Beine and Parsons (2015)
