Clemens, Michael A. - 2022

Conditional Cash Transfers are increasingly used by development aid agencies to reduce the incentives for migration from low-income countries. The evidence to date suggests that such transfers typically increase the rate of migration when they are conditional on investment, such as investment in...

Pathways for labor migration from Northern Central America: Five difficult but necessary proposals

Clemens, Michael A. - 2022

Very few labor-based pathways for regular migration are available for people in Northern Central America, often called the 'Northern Triangle' of Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador. This note briefly summarizes the state of labor-based migration channels in the region. It then argues that...

Partial legalization and parallel markets : the effect of lawful crossing on unlawful crossing at the US Southwest border

Clemens, Michael A. - 2024

Legal and illegal markets often coexist. In theory, marginal legalization can either substitute for the remaining parallel market, or complement it via scale effects. I study migrants crossing without prior authorization at the US southwest border, where large-scale unlawful crossing coexists...

Construction heuristics for two-dimensional irregular shape bin packing with guillotine constraints

Han, Wei; Bennell, Julia A.; Zhao, Xiaozhou; Song, Xiang - In: European Journal of Operational Research 230 (2013) 3, pp. 495-504

The paper examines a new problem in the irregular packing literature that has many applications in industry: two …-dimensional irregular (convex) bin packing with guillotine constraints. Due to the cutting process of certain materials, cuts are restricted …. This paper aims to generate guillotine-cutting layouts of irregular shapes using a number of strategies. The investigation …
