The Economic Consequences of the International Migration of Labor
选择性讨论全球劳动力流动的实证研究，分析国际移民如何影响输出国、接收国及移民自身的收入，并评估文献在提供社会规划者所需参数方面的进展。
In this paper, I selectively discuss recent empirical work on the consequences of global labor mobility. I examine how international migration affects the incomes of individuals in sending and receiving countries and of migrants themselves. Were a social planner to choose the migration policies that would maximize global welfare, she would need to know, among other values, the elasticities of wages, prices, taxes, and government transfers with respect to national labor supplies as well as how these parameters vary across countries. My goal is to evaluate the progress of the literature in terms of providing these inputs.
