Impact of migration costs, microcredit, and remittances on cross-border labour migration decisions: Evidence from a Cambodian household survey
Over the past two decades, the migration of Cambodian workers has contributed to poverty reduction and economic development. However, it has also constituted a substantial challenge, in view of the significant increase in the exodus of Cambodian migrant workers, particularly the migration to …

Essays on macro development
… the impact of heat waves on international migration patterns. Using census data from Guatemala, we document novel evidence suggesting that areas affected by elevated temperatures exhibit less migration in the following year. We show that the magnitude is larger in rural areas. We postulate …

Energy-Aware Inter-Data Center Virtual Machine Migration over Elastic Optical Networks
… is challenging. In addition, although migration can help reduce BE consumption, it comes with an additional cost due to using network devices for the migration. This thesis focuses on minimizing the total cost, which includes BE consumption costs, migration costs, and optical network …

The Determinants of Rural Outmigration in the United States: 2010-2014
… and noneconomic determinants of geographical migration out of rural areas in the United States. In line with existing studies on individual’s decision to migrate from rural to urban areas, our analysis compares expected returns in rural to those in urban areas. Using annual U.S. countylevel …

Essays on international economics
… a focus on adaptation strategies that involve migration and trade. The following chapters share common features, including the role of adaptation strategies, the frictions that hinder such adaptation, and how we utilize short-run variations in weather to recover estimates of the severity of …

Directoryless shared memory architecture using thread migration and remote access
… thread is running, incurring delays and energy costs. Under this scenario, migrating a thread to data instead of the other way around can improve performance. In this thesis, we propose a directoryless approach where data can be accessed either via a round-trip remote access protocol or by …

Intelligent Load Balancing in Cloud Computer Systems
… types of resources and consideration of task migration costs; (iii) a virtual machine live migration was experimented with in order to create a formula which estimates the network traffic generated by this process; (iv) a high-fidelity Cloud workload simulator, based on a month-long workload …

A Dynamic Resource Management Framework and Reconfiguration Strategies for Cloud-native Bulk Synchronous Parallel Applications
… changes while considering reconfiguration costs. To address these limitations, we evaluate a dynamic, data-driven resource management framework tailored for cloud-native BSP applications. This approach integrates workload profiling, time-series forecasting, and predictive performance …

MIGRAZIONI INTERNE E STRATIFICAZIONE SOCIALE NELL'ITALIA CONTEMPORANEA
… of several studies, the analysis of internal migration in Italy decreased since the 80s and the 90s. The most important reasons that could explain this lack of interest are probably related to the quantitative reduction of such phenomena and to the consistent international migration fluxes …

Essays in Spatial Economics, Trade, and Climate Change
… strategies are most effective when trade and migration costs are low, remote households are more vulnerable to climate shocks. Poorer households are also more vulnerable because more of their income and consumption is derived from the agricultural sector. We calibrate the model to 77 districts …

Energy Efficient Resource Allocation for Virtual Network Services with Dynamic Workload in Cloud Data Centers
… sleep mode. Especially, with the advent of live migration, a virtual node can be moved from one physical node to another physical node without service disrup tion. It is possible to save more energy by shrinking virtual nodes to a small set of physical nodes and turning the idle nodes to sleep …
