  • An Auction Model of Canadian Temporary Immigration for the 21 st Century

    Open AccessDon J Devoretz, Don DevoretzARTICLEInternational Migration2008

    Temporary Canadian immigration has grown beyond traditional programs for students, caregivers and agricultural workers to include trade‐related temporary visas under NAFTA and the GATS. Current Canadian debates envision supplanting Canada's permanent immigration programme with a temporary visa programme to remove skill shortages. Several questions emerge under these temporary schemes including who should choose the number of temporary immigrants …

  • The Economics of Citizenship

    Don J DevoretzARTICLENew Community2008Cited by: 7References: 7

    Economists studying the economic behaviour of immigrants have tended to avoid serious interdisciplinary work. I argue that when presented with a particular set of research questions that lend themselves to a utility maximisation framework, an economist will be able to pursue interdisciplinary work. I further argue that the necessary if not sufficient ingredient for true economic collaborative research has been met in the field of citizenship acqu…

    Open AccessDon J DevoretzARTICLEInternational Migration Review2006Cited by: 2References: 17

    This article outlines a set of economic criteria to assess an immigrant-receiving country's immigration policy from three perspectives. These three perspectives include the resident population, the immigrant, and the sending country viewpoints. An expanded version of Julian Simon's financial transfer model, which includes employment and capital externalities, is developed to assess the efficacy of an immigration policy from the resident's viewpoi…

  • Citizenship, Passports and the Brain Exchange Triangle

    Don J Devoretz, Kangqing ZhangARTICLEJournal of Comparative Policy…2004Cited by: 2References: 1

    Recent evidence suggests that the traditional permanent bilateral flows of highly skilled immigrants are being replaced by a form of "brain circulation". This paper offers a brain-exchange model in direct contrast to the standard neoclassical migration model limiting onward flows to disappointed immigrants. In this triangular model, movement occurs between three states: sending, entrepôt and final destination region. Individual agents in the entr…

    Rosilyn G Coulson, Don J DevoretzARTICLECanadian Public Policy1993Cited by: 7References: 3

    The central aim of this paper is to assess the effects of changing Canadian immigration policies circa 1967-87 on the human capital flows from developed and less developed countries to Canada. Calculations of various replacement cost concepts for the human capital flows are made for three major policy periods; 1967-73, 1974-79, and 1979-87. In sum, total human capital flows from all countries declined over the policy periods. Developed countries …
