A Gravity Model of Migration between Enc and EU

Ramos, Raul - 2013

Due to ageing population and low birth rates, the European Union (EU) will need to import foreign labour in the next decades. In this context, the EU neighbouring countries (ENC) are the main countries of origin and transit of legal and illegal migration towards Europe. Their economic, cultural...

Testing Mundell's Intuition of Endogenous OCA Theory

Warin, Thierry; Wunnava, Phani V.; Janicki, Hubert - 2021

This paper presents an empirical assessment of the endogenous optimum currency area theory. Frankel and Rose (1998) study the endogeneity of a currency union through the lens of international trade flows. Our study extends Frankel and Rose's model by using FDI flows to test the original theory...

Modeling International Trade Flows between Eastern European Countries and OECD Countries

Rault, Christophe; Sova, Robert; Sova, Anamaria - 2021

Our paper deals with econometric developments for the estimation of the gravity model which lead to convergent parameter estimates even when a correlation exists between the explanatory variables and the specific unobservable characteristics of each unit. We implement panel data econometric...

The Impact of Immigration on International Trade : A Meta-Analysis

Gen, Murat - 2011

Since the early 1990s many empirical studies have been conducted on the impact of international migration on international trade, predominantly from the host country perspective. Because most studies have adopted broadly the same specification, namely a log-linear gravity model of export and...

Female Brain Drains and Women's Rights Gaps : A Gravity Model Analysis of Bilateral Migration Flows

Naghsh Nejad, Maryam - 2014

In this paper we model the migration decisions of high-skilled women as a function of the benefits associated with moving from an origin with relatively low women's rights to a destination with a relatively high level of women's rights. However, the costs faced by women are decreasing in the...

Migration Gravity, Networks, and Unemployment

Basu, Arnab K.; Chau, Nancy H.; Lin, Gary - 2022

We develop and estimate a theory-consistent gravity model for interregional migration flows in the presence of unemployment. Micro-founded in a setting where search friction regulates labor market transitions, we derive a migration gravity equation for bilateral mobility that embodies a...

International Specialization and the Return to Capital

Batista, Catia - 2010

How does factor accumulation affect the pattern of international specialization and returns to capital? We provide a new integrated treatment to this question using a panel of 44 developing and developed countries over the period 1976-2000. We confirm the Heckscher-Ohlin prediction that, with...

Stages of Diversification in a Neoclassical World

Batista, Catia - 2013

Recent research has documented a U-shaped industrial concentration curve over an economy's development path. How far can neoclassical trade theory take us in explaining this pattern? We estimate the production side of the Heckscher-Ohlin model using industry data on 44 developed and developing...

Migration Policy, African Population Growth and Global Inequality

Mountford, Andrew - 2014

According to recent UN projections more than 50 percent of the growth in world population over the next half century … significant impact on the world distribution of income. In this paper we discuss the potential for migration policies to affect … more or less restrictive/selective migration policies and derive their implications for the evolution of world inequality …

COVID-19 Vaccination Mandates and Vaccine Uptake

Karajvanov, Alexander K.; Kim, Dongwoo; Lu, Shih En; … - 2022

We evaluate the impact of government mandated proof of vaccination requirements for access to public venues and non-essential businesses on COVID-19 vaccine uptake. We find that the announcement of a mandate is associated with a rapid and significant surge in new vaccinations (more than 60%...
