The effect of migration on income growth and convergence: meta-analytic evidence
Ozgen, Ceren; Nijkamp, Peter; Poot, Jacques - 2009
long-run real income convergence and derive 67 comparable effect sizes. The precision-weighted estimate of beta convergence … is more consistent with endogenous self-reinforcing growth than with neoclassical convergence. Introducing a net … migration variable in a growth regression increases the estimate of beta convergence slightly. Studies that use panel models or …
