SCAM effects when making comparisons


Notes:

Yet another way of examining the effects of SCAM is to compare the data (e.g. in-migration) for two locations where one has been modified by SCAM and the other has not; e.g. somewhere in England and Scotland respectively.

We might select Leicester, for example, and compare its in-migration with in-migration to a place of similar size in Scotland. Edinburgh and Aberdeen are the Scottish cities with closest population size; Edinburgh is more populous than Leicester; Aberdeen is less populous
