| description |
The international migration of
high-skilled workers may trigger productivity effects at the
macro level such that the wage rate of skilled workers
increases in host countries and decrease in source
countries. The authors exploit data on international
bilateral migration flows and provide evidence consistent
with this theoretical hypothesis. They propose various
instrumentation strategies to identify the causal effect of
skilled migration on log differences of GDP per capita,
total factor productivity, and the wages of skilled workers
between pairs of source and destination countries. These
strategies aim to address the endogeneity problem that
arises when international wage differences affect migration decisions. |
