Abstract

Use of migration tax as an instrument for financing development expenditure in poorer countries has received renewed attention recently and is evolving as an important subject of research in development economics. This paper discusses a related issue where the revenue collected by taxing skilled and unskilled migrants moving from poor to rich countries can help raising the level of human capital in the source country.
