Migration and Development Research Is Moving Far beyond Remittances - Working Paper 365
Clemens, Michael; Özden, Çaglar; Rapoport, Hillel - 2014
Research on migration and development has recently changed, in two ways. First, it has grown sharply in volume, emerging as a proper subfield. Second, while it once embraced principally rural-urban migration and international remittances, migration and development research has broadened to...

Skill Development and Regional Mobility: Lessons from the Australia-Pacific Technical College - Working Paper 370
Clemens, Michael; Graham, Colum; Howes, Stephen - 2014
Developing countries invest in training skilled workers and can lose part of their investment if those workers emigrate. One response is for the destination countries to design ways to participate in financing skilled emigrants’ training before they migrate—linking skill creation and skill...

A Case against Taxes and Quotas on High-Skill Emigration - Working Paper 363
Clemens, Michael - 2014
Skilled workers have a rising tendency to emigrate from developing countries, raising fears that their departure harms the poor. To mitigate such harm, researchers have proposed a variety of policies designed to tax or restrict high-skill migration. Those policies have been justified as Pigovian...

Skill Flow: A Fundamental Reconsideration of Skilled-Worker Mobility and Development
Clemens, Michael - 2009
Large numbers of doctors, engineers, and other skilled workers from developing countries choose to move to other countries. Do their choices threaten development? The answer appears so obvious that their movement is most commonly known by the pejorative term “brain drain.” This paper...

A Labor Mobility Agenda for Development
Clemens, Michael - 2010
globalization of almost all factors of production—except labor. So far, this policy has failed to cause the living standards of most … people in most developing countries to converge with living standards in rich countries. But the globalization of labor … forward is for rich countries to greatly open up legal pathways for temporary labor movement. …

Note on supplier-restricted order quantity under temporary price discounts
Chu, Peter; Chen, Patrick; Niu, Thomas - In: Computational Statistics 58 (2003) 1, pp. 141-147
In this technical note, we consider the optimal replenishment strategies for a continuous review inventory model in which temporary price discounts are offered subject to supplier-obligatory restrictions on the special order quantity. We prove that the minimum inventory level during the on-sale...

A note for “On an inventory model for deteriorating items and time-varying demand”
Chu, Peter; Chen, Patrick S. - In: Computational Statistics 53 (2001) 2, pp. 297-307
In this technical note we discuss a paper of Benkherouf and Balkhi recently published in Mathematical Methods of Operations Research. They established the model for deteriorating items with increasing demand and proved the uniqueness for the solution of the system of first partial derivatives....
