Beschreibung
The papers in this volume cover the subject of international
migration. The three papers in the first part deal with
general aspects. The first paper discusses the influence of
migration on world development (Hatton and Williamson), the
second models the patterns of labor migration when workers
differ in their skills and information is asymmetric
(Stark), and the third explores the economics of
international labor and capital flows (Grubel). The second
part focuses on experiences in the United States and
contains four papers. These papers discuss the performance
of immigrants in the U.S. labor market (Chiswick), the
influence of immigrants on entrepreneurship in the
nineteenth-century U.S. (Ferrie and Mokyr), ethnic identity,
assimilation of immigrants, and the intergenerational
transmission of immigrants' skills (Borjas), and the labor
market consequences of U.S. immigration (Greenwood and
McDowell). The three papers in the final part discuss
lessons for Europe's migration policies. The first paper
asks whether immigration policy can help to stabilize social
security systems (Felderer), the second explores the
economic consequences of immigration and the resulting
lessons for immigration policies (Simon), and the third
reviews the conference's papers in the light of recent
European developments (Zimmermann).
