This paper estimates effects of birth place migration networks and other location attributes on destination choices of internal migrants conditional on migration. We also study heterogeneity in the role of these factors for migrant types who differ by skill group, age at migration, and reason of...

This paper investigates the evolution of regional income inequality in Turkey during the last two decades. We present spatially robust evidence that supports the traditional income convergence hypotheses, absolute and conditional, using economic data from national accounts disaggregated at 81...

This paper examines the impacts of international remittances on child labor and household welfare by presenting evidence from Turkey. Remittances by alleviating resource constraints may improve household welfare and help reduce labor supply of children in exchange of accumulating more schooling....

This paper examines the impacts of international remittances on child human capital investments of households by presenting evidence from Turkey. Remittances by alleviating resource constraints may allow higher consumption and productive investments for the household. On the other hand,...

This paper studies the efficacy of immigrant selection based on skill requirements in the Canadian context. The point system results in a much higher skill level than would otherwise be achieved by family preferences. This positive selection is achieved by directly selecting higher skilled...

Attracting skilled immigrants is emerging as an important policy goal for immigrant receiving countries. This article first discusses the economic rationale for immigrant selection. Selection mechanisms of receiving countries are reviewed in the context of deteriorating labor market outcomes for...
