#'
#' @description
#' The dataset contains bilateral migration and its economic determinants
#' for 23 European Union countries over the period 1995–2020.
#' Each observation represents a country pair in a given 5 year period, resulting in 353
#' unique country pairs and four periods (the first period is utilized for lagged data only).
#'
#' The countries included are: Austria, Belgium, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France,
#' Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland,
#' Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom
#'
#' The dataset was used in:
#' Afonso, Aves, Beck (2025), *Drivers of migration flows in the European Union:
#' Earnings or unemployment?*, International Labour Review, 164(2), 1-23.
