The dynamics of international migration: Introduction

Author

Listed:
  • Stark, Oded

Abstract

This special issue of the International Review of Economics and Finance contributes to the received literature of the dynamics of international migration by highlighting the role of tradition in propelling migration; by admitting that the human capital formation response to the prospect of migration is gradual; by studying the impact of such formation on economic growth and welfare; by working out the consequences of the migration of parents for the wellbeing of their children; by demonstrating that the “basin of attraction” of new migrants includes cross-national past migrants; and by causally relating the intensity of the effort that migrants exert to assimilate economically to the extent of their social integration.
