Opis

This volume takes a critical look at the current divide over immigration policies. It hopes to shed new light on the debate by bringing together papers that investigate the link between trade and factor mobility, particularly labor migration, from theoretical and empirical perspectives. The team of distinguished international contributors suggests far-reaching implications for business, policy making and scholarship. This is a significant addition to the literature on the economics of migration.
