Firms Left Behind : Emigration and Firm Productivity

Giesing, Yvonne - 2018

This paper establishes a causal link between the emigration of skilled workers and firm performance in source countries …. Using firm-level panel data from ten Eastern European countries, we show that the emigration of skilled workers lowers firm … to 2014 as a source of exogenous variation in the emigration rates from new EU member states. We argue that a potential …

Climatic Factors as Determinants of International Migration

Beine, Michel A. R. - 2012

We examine environmental factors as potential determinants of international migration. We distinguish between unexpected short-run factors, captured by natural disasters, as well as long-run climate change and climate variability. Building on a simple neo-classical model we use a panel dataset...

Diasporas

Beine, Michel A. R. - 2009

Migration flows are shaped by a complex combination of self-selection and out-selection mechanisms. In this paper, we analyze how existing diasporas (the stock of people born in a country and living in an another one) affect the size and human-capital structure of current migration flows. Our...

Do Natural Hazards Cause International Migration?

Gröschl, Jasmin - 2016

The estimated amount of people affected by natural hazards stands at a staggering number of about 243 million people per year. While not all of the affected move across borders, international migration potentially provides an adaptation mechanism to natural hazards. The aim of this paper is to...

The Dynamic Implications of Liberalizing Global Migration

Delogu, Marco - 2014

This paper quantitatively investigates the short- and long-run effects of liberalizing global migration on the world distribution of income. We develop and parametrize a dynamic model of the world economy with endogenous migration, fertility and education decisions. We identify bilateral...

Aggregate Fluctuations and International Migration

Beine, Michel; Bourgeon, Pauline; Bricongne, Jean-Charles - 2021

Traditional theories of integration such as the optimum currency area approach attribute a prominent role to international labour mobility in coping with relative economic fluctuations between countries. However, recent studies on international migration have overlooked the role of short-run...

Dissecting Network Externalities in International Migration

Beine, Michel A. R.; Docquier, Frédéric; Ozden, Caglar - 2021

Existing migrant networks play an important role in explaining the size and structure of immigration flows. They affect the net benefits of migration for future migrants by lowering assimilation costs (‘self-selection’ channel) and increase the probability of potential migrants to obtain a...

The Economics of Temporary Migrations

Dustmann, Christian - 2015

Many migrations are temporary – a fact that has often been ignored in the economic literature on migration. Such omission may be serious in that expected migration temporariness can impart a distinct dynamic element to immigrants' economic behavior, generating possible consequences for...

Migration and Trade

Egger, Peter H. - 2011

Theoretical and empirical research in economics suggests that bilateral migration triggers bilateral trade through a number of channels. This paper assesses the functional form of the impact of migration on trade flows in a quasi-experimental setting. We provide evidence that the relationship is...

Migration into the Welfare State : Tax and Migration Competition

Razin, Assaf - 2013

In this paper I provide some support to the Tiebout hypothesis. It suggests that when a group of host countries faces an upward supply of immigrants, tax competition does not indeed lead to a race to the bottom; competition may lead to higher taxes than coordination. We identify a fiscal...
