International Migration
Whereas the impact of trade relations on conflict has been studied extensively, this is not the case for the impact of international migration. The latter might influence the size of expected costs and benefits, and hence the likelihood of military conflict between countries. In this paper, we discuss the channels through which bilateral migration can affect the prevalence of interstate military conflict. We then estimate migration’s impact on co…

Where on Earth is Everybody? The Evolution of Global Bilateral Migration 1960-2000
Global matrices of bilateral migrant stocks spanning 1960 2000 are presented, disaggregated by gender and based primarily on the foreign-born definition of migrants. More than one thousand census and population register records are combined to construct decennial matrices corresponding to the five census rounds between 1960 and 2000. For the first time, a comprehensive picture of bilateral global migration over the second half of the 20th century…

International Migration, Transfers Of Norms And Home Country Fertility
This paper examines the relationship between international migration and source country fertility. The impact of international migration on source country fertility may have a number of causes, including a transfer of destination countries' fertility norms and an incentive to acquire more education. It provides provide a rigorous test of the diffusion on of fertility norms using original and detailed data on migration. The results provide evidenc…
Remittance Stability, Cyclicality And Stabilizing Impact In Developing Countries
That remittances are a stable source of external finance seems to have become the received wisdom. In addition, many studies have found remittances to behave counter-cyclically, increasing during crises and times of hardship for the recipient countries. Are remittances reliable macroeconomic stabilizers? To answer this question, the present study examines the stability, cyclicality, and stabilizing impact of remittances in comparison with the sam…
North-South and South-South Trade-Related Technology Diffusion
This paper examines the impact on total factor productivity (TFP) growth in the South of North-South and South-South trade-related technology diffusion and of foreign direct investment (FDI). North-South and South-South trade-related research and development (R&D) stocks are constructed based on industry-specific R&D in the North, North-South and South-South trade patterns, and input-output relations in the South. The main findings are: 1. both N…

International Migration, Economic Development & Policy
This volume reflects the expansion of the World Bank Research Program on International Migration and Development into new substantive and geographic areas. It presents a new global migration database and includes studies of the determinants and impact of return and circular migration, the impact of the flow of ideas on fertility, host country policies and their impact on immigrants, and the impact of international migration and remittances on pov…
International Migration, Remittances, and the Brain Drain
Knowledge of the economic effects of migration, especially its impact on economic development, is rather limited. In order to expand knowledge on migration, and identify policies and reforms that would lead to superior development outcomes, this volume presents the results of a first set of studies carried out on the subject. Current demographic trends in both developed and developing countries are pointing toward significant, potential economic …
The political economy of social exclusion, with implications for immigration policy
On the Geography of Trade
Il a été largement proclamé qu’avec le déclin des coûts du commerce international à travers le temps, l’importance de la distance a fortement diminué. Cependant, la plupart des modèles de gravité mettent en évidence un rôle croissant de la distance à travers le temps sur les flux de commerce bilatéraux. Ce paradoxe est examiné ici. À cette fin, une nouvelle mesure de la distance commerciale ( dot ) est développée et révèle que cette distance a di…
On the Inefficiency of Inequality
A number of studies have examined the \n implications of preference interdependence. This paper \n models individual utility as depending either on the level \n of other people's consumption or on the difference in \n consumption levels. It assumes that the impact of an \n increase in other people's consumption on individual \n utility diminishes with the level of consumption, raising \n individual utility when that consumption is very small and …

South-North Migration and Trade
Before 1973, the labor market in Europe was tight and immigration from the South (chiefly North Africa and Southern Europe) was encouraged. But with the slowdown in growth in the mid-1970s, the rise in unemployment, and increased economic uncertainty, immigration came to be viewed as a burden by the destination countries. The demand for migration fell, but the supply did not. As United States (U.S.) and European Union (EU) opposition to immigrati…
Trade, Migration, and Welfare
Despite the predictions of standard trade theory, countries in the North are not indifferent about free migration and free trade. Migration has become a major concern in some OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) countries. But is migration really a threat? If free trade is optional, shouldn't free migration be optimal as well? Why do so many countries advocate free trade but [put]restrictions on international migration? We…

Uncertain Property Rights and the Coase Theorem
The Coase theorem states that, in the absence of transaction costs, the assignment of property rights does not affect resource allocation, and the allocation is Pareto optimal. The theorem also implies that the order in which parties settle in a given location does not affect resource allocation either. This article argues that Pareto optimality is not attained in a class of prevalent cases involving uncertain rights, risk aversion, and resource …

Social Capital, Labor Mobility, and Welfare
It is generally assumed that a technological or political change resulting in greater labor mobility raises welfare because it allows labor to move to where returns are higher and exploit profit opportunities. This article argues that the impact on welfare is ambiguous because of a negative externality of migration. Society benefits from a common property resource. That resource is social capital and includes the network of relations among people…

Agricultural Incentives in Developing Countries
The impact of sector-specific (direct) and economywide (indirect) policies on agricultural incentives for eighteen developing countries for the period 1975–84 are estimated. The direct effect is measured by the proportional difference between the producer price and the border price (adjusting for distribution, storage, transport, and other marketing costs). The indirect effect has two components. The first is the impact of the unsustainable porti…
