Edward Elgar Publishing Migration and Economic Growth (The International Library of Studies on Migration series)

The main focus of the papers appearing in the first part of the book is on inequality and its effects on growth, labour market integration and government policies. The book continues by dealing with migration, its determinants and its possible effect on the host country's output, employment and standard of living. Finally, the authors discuss economic growth and its relationship with trade, capital accumulation and internal and external debts. Economists and researchers studying development economics and migration studies will find this original book, with its innovative state-of-the-art studies, of great interest. Review 'Mathias Czaika and Carlos Vargas-Silva have assembled an excellent collection of previously published articles on all aspects of the connections between migration and economic growth. As well, they provide an introduction that sets out the cross-connections between migration and economic growth, and provides and lead-in to the articles that follow in their compilation. An excellent place to start if one wanted to cover most of the important topics and researched areas in the overlap between migration and economic growth during the last fifty years.' -- Bill Marr, Canadian Studies in Population ‘Czaika and Vargas-Silva have curated a collection of classic studies combined with a few lesser-known interesting pieces that together provide a must-read overview of the range of important topics linking migration with economic growth.’ -- David McKenzie, The World Bank About the Author Edited by Mathias Czaika, Professor in Migration and Globalisation, Danube University Krems, Austria and Carlos Vargas-Silva, Senior Researcher, Centre on Migration, Policy and Society, University of Oxford, UK
