- Andrea Ariu & Bianca Biagi & Alessandra Faggian & Isha Rajbhandari & Viktor A. Venhorst (2018): Determinants and Consequences of International Migration
This chapter provides a simple overview of the canonical model of international migration, discusses the consequences of migration on both sending and receiving countries and draws some considerations on future research prospects for the international migration literature.
RePEc:spr:adspcp:978-3-319-75886-2_3 Save to MyIDEAS - Eva-Maria Egger (2019): Internal migration and crime in Brazil
Empirical evidence suggests that the social effects of internal migration may be substantially different from those associated with the arrival of international migrants. In this paper, I provide the first evidence of the effect of internal migration on crime with longitudinal data from Brazilian microregiões . Using local labour demand shocks in the manufacturing sector as an instrument for migratory flows, I find that a 10 per cent increase in the in-migration rate translates into a 6 per cent increase in the homicide rate in destinations.
RePEc:unu:wpaper:wp-2019-112 Save to MyIDEAS - James Raymer (2017): Measuring flows of international migration
International migration alters the socio-economic conditions of the individuals and families migrating as well as the host and sending countries. ... Improving the available information on global migration patterns will result in numerous and wide-ranging benefits, including improved population estimations and providing a clearer picture of why certain migrants choose certain destinations.
RePEc:iza:izawol:journl:2017:n:354 Save to MyIDEAS - Hatton, Timothy J. (2010): The Cliometrics of International Migration: A Survey
This is a survey of some of the key studies in the literature on international migration in history that may be described as cliometric. This literature uses the concepts and approaches of applied economics to investigate a range of historical issues and there are strong parallels with the questions that have been addressed in the literature on contemporary migrations. Here I focus on the period 1850 to 1940 and chiefly on migration from Europe to the New World. The survey is organised around six themes that include: the forces driving migration, over time and across space; the assimilation of migrants and their effects on wages and income distribution in source and destination countries; and the evolution of immigration policy. While this literature has drawn heavily on the tool kit of applied economists it also provides a wider perspective on many of the issues that concern migration today.

RePEc:cpr:ceprdp:7803 Save to MyIDEAS - Horváth, István (2016): Internal migration transition in Romania?
This paper is an overview of the shifts in the internal migration patterns in Romania for the last six decades. In the first part a literature-based brief overview of the trends and patterns of internal migration during communism will be presented. In the second (more extensive) part, a statistical-data based analysis of the internal migration trends and patterns over the last 25 years will be provided.
RePEc:pra:mprapa:74498 Save to MyIDEAS - Dean Yang (2009): International Migration and Human Development
This paper reviews the relationship between international migration and human development. First, it reviews what we know about the factors that drive migration from developing to developed countries. Second, it reviews existing knowledge about the impact of international migration and remittances on the economic and human development of migrants’ source countries. ... The last section of the paper outlines policies that could help raise the development impact of migration and remittances. ... Finally, there could be substantial benefits from encouraging overseas citizens to retire at home while taking advantage of accumulated retirement benefits from their migration host countries.

We present theory and evidence on international migration of couples. Our main question is how migration decisions depend on partners’ education and earnings, and the number of children.
RePEc:nor:wpaper:2013018 Save to MyIDEAS - Monras, Joan (2015): Economic Shocks and Internal Migration
Previous literature shows that internal migration rates are strongly procyclical. ... Using various IV strategies that rely on the importance of the construction sector and the indebtedness of households before the crisis, I conclude that internal migration might help to alleviate up to one third of the effects of the crisis on wages in the most affected locations. This is due to a disproportionate decrease in in-migration into those locations rather than an increase in out-migration. More generally, I show that differences in population growth rates across locations are mainly explained by differences in in-migration rates rather than in out-migration rates. I introduce a model to guide the empirical analysis and to quantify the spill-over effects caused by internal migration.
