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...

Managing Migration Through Conflicting Policies : An Option-Theory Perspective

Moretto, Michele - 2009

Recent European legislation on immigration has revealed a particular paradox on migration policies. On the one hand, the trend of recent legislation points to the increasing closure of frontiers (OECD 1999, 2001,2004), trying to limit the immigrants' stock. On the other hand, there is an...

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...

Drawbridges Down : Altruism and Immigration Preferences

Hansen, Ole-Petter; Legge, Stefan - 2021

This paper advances and empirically establishes the idea that altruism is an important determinant of individual preferences over immigration. Using data from the European Social Survey from 2014 and 2015, our results document that individual norms and values strongly shape preferences over...

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...

Dutch Disease and the Mitigation Effect of Migration : Evidence from Canadian Provinces

Beine, Michel A. R.; Coulombe, Serge; Vermeulen, Wessel - 2021

This paper looks at whether immigration can mitigate the Dutch disease effects associated with booms in natural resource sectors. We first derive predicted changes in the size of the non-tradable sector from a small general-equilibrium model à la Obstfeld-Rogoff, supplemented by a resource...

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...
