This paper examines whether remittances actually increase with migrants' education level. The determinants of it considers include migration or rates, level, and source countries' income, financial sector development expected growth rate. estimation takes potential endogeneity into account, an issue not considered in few studies on this topic. Our main finding is...

Abstract This paper examines the relationship between international migration and source country fertility. The impact of on fertility may have a number causes, including transfer destination countries' norms. We provide rigorous test diffusion norms using highly detailed original data migration. Our results evidence significant from migrants to their origin: 1% decrease (increase) in norm which are exposed reduces (raises) home by about 0.3%. JEL classification: J13, J61, O11

It is generally assumed that a technological or political change resulting in greater labor mobility raises welfare because it allows to move where returns are higher and exploit profit opportunities.

The impact of on fertility may have a number causes, including transfer destination countries' norms an incentive to acquire more education. We provide rigorous test diffusion using original detailed data migration. Our results evidence strong from migrants their origin.

"The purpose of this paper is to shed some light on the conditions under which trade liberalization in developing countries likely cause an increase or a decrease out-migration. We also examine impact skill composition migration and labour force. For purpose, we explicitly incorporate four additional features Heckscher-Ohlin model: heterogeneity skills, international migration, costs, constraints financing migration." (EXCERPT)

Abstract This paper examines one direct and three indirect channels of North‐South trade‐related technology diffusion. We find that i) the largest impact on TFP in South is from diffusion; ii) there are also significant effects diffusion, though their magnitude smaller than one; iii) diffusion occurs faster

This paper examines the relationship between brain drain and country size, as well extent of small states' overall loss human capital. We find that states are main losers because they i) lose a larger proportion their skilled labor force ii) exhibit stronger reactions to standard push factors. also observe correlation capital indicators size is close zero. suggests more successful in producing natives less retaining them.

International migration is an important determinant of institutions, not considered so far in the development literature. Using cross-section and panel analysis for a large sample developing countries, we find that openness to emigration (as measured by natives’ average rate) has positive effect on home-country institutional standard democracy indices). The results are robust wide range specifications identification methods. Remarkably, cross-sectional estimates fully line with implied...
