The Effect of Migration on Income Growth and Convergence : Meta-Analytic Evidence
Ozgen, Ceren - 2009
We compare a set of econometric studies that measure the effect of net internal migration in neoclassical models of long-run real income convergence and derive 67 comparable effect sizes. The precision-weighted estimate of beta convergence is about 2.7%. An increase in the net migration rate of...
