More development, less emigration to OECD countries : identifying inconsistencies between cross-sectional and time-series estimates of the migration hump

Bencek, David; Schneiderheinze, Claas - 2019

Comparing the emigration rates of countries at different stages of economic development, an inverse u-shape emerges. Although merely based on cross-sectional evidence, the “migration hump” is often treated as a causal relationship. Since the peak is located at rather high per capita incomes...
