We investigate the effects of interregional labor market integration on the dynamic interaction between migration and capital formation through changes in house prices. The nature of this interaction depends on initial conditions at the time of labor market integration. In an initially capital-poor economy, there may be a reversal of migration during the transition to the steady state, like obs...

Using data drawn from the Canadian, Mexican, and U.S. censuses, we find a numerically comparable and statistically significant inverse relation between immigrant-induced shifts in labor supply and wages in each of the three countries: A 10% labor supply shift is associated with a 3%-4% oppositesigned change in wages. Despite the similarity in the wage response, the impact of migration on the wa...

This paper tests the impact of the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (NREGS) on (1) rural-urban migration; (2) urban unemployment and (3) Inequality in India. We use the simple Harris-Todaro framework to analyze the labor market outcomes of this policy intervention. We use district level data from two rounds of National Sample Survey (NSSO) to compare districts where the NREGS was laun...

This chapter deals with the economic and ethnic diversity caused by international labor migration, and their economic integration possibilities. It brings together three strands of literature dealing with the neoclassical economic assimilation, ethnic identities and attitudes towards immigrants and the natives, and provides an analysis in understanding their interactions. The issue of how immig...

Fifteen years after German reunification, the facts about slow regional convergence have born out the prediction of Barro (1991), except that migration out of East Germany has not slowed down. I document that in particular the 18-29 year old are leaving East Germany, and that the emigration has accelerated in recent years. To understand these patterns, I provide an extension of the standard lab...

This pamphlet describes some recent findings reported in the UN's "State of World Population, 1993." The summary focuses on the costs and benefits of migration, investments in technology in order to attract low cost labor, and impetus for migration from economic development. A recent study in the Philippines indicates that reduced migration pressures will require increased capacity to migrate b...

Some alternative models of labor migration in the United States are reviewed, with particular reference to the distinction between equilibrium and disequilibrium models of migration. The authors propose alternative tests to a model developed by Joseph Schacter and Paul G. Althaus "which explicitly recognize the stock-flow interactions between net migration and the distribution of regional popu...
