Incentives and Disincentives: International Migration

In: Economic Incentives

Author

  • Jagdish N. Bhagwati

Abstract

The phenomenon of international migration is one characterized by disincentives rather than incentives. The 20th century witnessed the rise of immigration quotas, sanctioned by national legislations as in 1905 in Great Britain and in 1921 in the United States1. It is probably true to say that today, except for international personal mobility assured in arrangements such as the European Economic Community, international migration is influenced and inhibited primarily by legislation.
