abstract = {At a time of increased attention on the international agenda for human trafficking, this paper examines the determinants of human trafficking inflows in to 13 European countries based on official
records. By employing a fixed effects zero-inflated, negative binomial gravity-type model, we address
data characteristics appropriately. The econometric analysis suggests that human trafficking occurs
in well established routes for migrants and refugees. Victims are more likely to be transported to,
and exploited in, host countries with suboptimal institutional quality levels. Countries whose
nationals do not require a visa for short term visits are especially prone to being potential source
countries. Legal status and regulation of commercial sex services does not affect the pattern of
trafficking flows.},
