Semantic Scholar is a free, AI-powered research tool for scientific literature, based at the Allen Institute for AI. 2This article explores the development of contemporary migration theories as reflected in some twenty founding texts that have marked the field over the last fifty years. 46Without going as far as to advocate free movement, which he judges impracticable, Bimal Ghosh (2000*) was among the first to develop a systematic global approach to the migration question. Whether migration occurs across internal or international borders is largely irrelevant from a theoretical standpoint, as both types of flows are primarily driven by a desire to exploit geographic variation in the return to labor. Nations with scarce labor supply and high demand will have high wages that attract immigrants from nations with a surplus of labor. Migration theories and evidence: An assessment. Lanalyse des rseaux migratoires occupe une place centrale aussi bien dans les cadres explicatifs que dans les travaux propos des effets de la migration sur le dveloppement conomique. The secondary sector, on the other hand, is the reverse image of the primary sector, and is characterized by low wages, menial and insecure jobs, and low levels of unionization. Greenwood, M. (1997). 45Carens starts out from the principle that birthplace and parentage are natural contingencies that are arbitrary from a moral point of view. A first approach sought to explain migration patterns in terms of a system of multiple flows between origin and destination places: flows of persons, but also of goods, services and ideas. Relative deprivation and international migration. Emigration pressures are primarily the result of increasing inequalities between countries which, in turn, are the result of factors internal to less developed countries and their relations with developed countries. Ravenstein, E. (1889). 53The most recent founding text presented here dates back to the year 2000. Looking, for example, at the book edited by Alejandro Portes and Josh DeWind in 2007, or that of Corrado Bonifazi, Marek Okolski, Jeannette Schoorl and Patrick Simon in 2008, we see that the topics covered are not fundamentally different from those discussed in the founding texts. For example, suppose that home earnings are $10,000 and migration costs are $1,000. Roback, J. Quality-of-life in individualistic society: A comparison of forty-three nations in the early 1990s. Journal of Urban Economics, 6, 135147. In general, the first dimension a change of residence is the main criterion used. The Determinants of International Migration: Theory. ), Research in human capital and development (Vol. Hedonic prices and implicit markets: Product differentiation in pure competition. Scottish Journal of Political Economy, 33, 396401. The temporary work programmes now re-emerging in industrialized countries also involve a twin economic and institutional dependency. A gendered approach to migration decision-making rounds off this analysis. This new economy has also produced a surge in the supply of low-wage jobs. All twentieth-century migration policies were founded on a supposedly unshakeable principle: immigration is a privilege and not a right. The human capital perspective leads to the implications that the immigration rate depends upon international differences in the returns to factor supply, controlling for migration costs, skill levels, income inequality, and immigration policies. Analysis of migration networks is a key component of explanatory frameworks and of studies to determine the effects of migration on economic development. The first, and the one which has received the major attention, concerns the direction and magnitude of the response of migrants to labor earnings differentials over space. His most important conclusion is that the methodological arsenal of modern econometrics is incapable of providing a single shred of evidence to prove that immigrants have a substantial and adverse impact on the earnings and labour market opportunities of US natives. Journal of Regional Science, 23, 541546. Happiness: Lessons from a new science. In G. DeJong & R. Gardner (Eds. It is as if the microeconomic hypothesis of the rational individual maximizing his interests has become a postulate that needs no verification. See expository surveys by Greenwood (1975, 1985, 1997), Molho (1986), Massey and Garcia Espana (1993), Shields and Shields (1989), Bauer and Zimmerman (1998), Ghatak, Levine, and Price (1996) and Gorter, Nijkamp, and Poot (1998). Corden, W., & Findlay, R. (1975). Lall, S., Selod, H., & Shalizi, Z. It is in this second sector that many immigrants find employment. 48Ghoshs approach has given rise to a new paradigm, that of migration management, to achieve more orderly, predictable and humane objectives through global governance of the migration regime. Rosen, S. (1974). The special issue of the International Migration Review on female migration, edited by Mirjana Morokvasic (1984*) points out that migration also concerns women. 4Simmons also observes that the field is highly fragmented because migration theories cover specific types of migration grounded in particular social and historical contexts. Sjaastad argued that a person migrates . Lapproche en termes de rapports de genre dans les dcisions migratoires complte cette analyse. El objetivo del presente artculo es dar cuenta de la evolucin de las teoras migratorias contemporneas a partir de 20 textos fundadores, reagrupados por primera vez en un manual (Pich V., Les thories de la migration, Paris, Ined, 2013). The decision to grant formal refugee status to citizens of a particular country is generally seen as an implicit condemnation of the government of that country for persecuting its citizens or failing to protect them. The inaugural volume of this series was edited by Victor Pich. They began with a realization of the enormous volume of migrant remittances, and several researchers have sought to estimate these cash flows at global level. For Tapinos, examining the economic and political challenges of irregular migration involves identifying what makes this type of migration specific with respect to regular migration. Both micro (neoclassical) and macrostructural theories of migration are re-viewed. Willis, R. (1973). Under this paradigm based, moreover, on the principle of national sovereignty in migration policy these policies are shaped by the economic needs of the countries concerned, and hence focus mainly on the labour market. 6Without doubt, Sjaastads greatest contribution was to introduce the notion of human capital into migration theory to get around the problem of estimating returns. Molho, I. Throughout history, each society has developed demographic reproduction strategies by combining the reproductive mechanisms of fertility, mortality and migration. Ils sont lorigine davances significatives dans lexplication des migrations, leurs causes et leurs effets. Last, are all groups of native residents affected in the same way by immigrants arrival on the labour market? This paper examines at the theoretical level the distinction among new, return, and autonomous migration flows. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4614-2116-0_2, DOI: https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4614-2116-0_2, eBook Packages: Business and EconomicsEconomics and Finance (R0). Todaro ve Maruszko (1987:102) . Wilbur Zelinski (1971*) was among the first to outline a theory of mobility based on the notion of transition so dear to demographers. First, he proposes to incorporate migration into the general theory of demographic transition. In the human capital theory, migration is considered as an investment in the human agent which involves costs and returns (Sjaastad 1962 ). The emergence of migration theory and a suggested new direction. The precise effects of these cash transfers on the rural economy is difficult to determine ex-ante. The [P(1)P(2)/D] hypothesis; on the intercity movement of persons. Pich V.. For an exception in the field of fertility and health, see Riley and McCarthy, 2003. w7487. Altogether, Sjaastad's model accounts for four aspects of the migration investment decision: (i) the imperfect synchronization of migration's benefits and costs over time; (ii) earnings differences between origin and destination locales; (iii) cost of living differences between the origin and destination; and (iv) the migrant's rate of time The Neoclassical Economic Theory, which is mainly used to describe migration between two countries, suggests that there is a correlation between the global supply and demand for labour and the reason people migrate, effectively driven by a wage gap among geographical areas (Sjaastad 1962; Todaro 1969; Jennissen 2007). THE HUMAN CAPITAL MODEL OF MIGRATION Many models of migration have a thin base of theoretical support and are difficult to relate to the body of microeconomic the-ory. Roback, J. Recent research on the more global economic effects of immigration (at macro level) has produced results that are contradictory and uncertain to say the least (He?ran, 2002). Lobjectif de cet article est de rendre compte de lvolution des thories migratoires contemporaines partir de 20 textes fondateurs et regroups pour la premire fois dans un manuel (Pich V., 2013, Les thories de la migration, Ined). Review of Economics and Statistics, 89, 359373. World Development, 39, 2032. The determinants of EastWest German migration. L. Sjaastad Published 1 October 1962 Economics Journal of Political Economy Migration research has dealt mainly with the forces which affect migration and how strongly they have affected it, but little has been done to determine the influence of migration as an equilibrating mechanism in a changing economy. 27Following on from Castles and Kosack, Marxist-inspired studies tended to focus on the negative effects of immigration. ), Crossing borders: Regional and urban perspectives on international migration. Regional Science, 18, 131142. (1984). The second point concerns the period covered, namely the decades from the 1960s up to the year 2000. ), Studies in development economics and policy. Hicks, J. The notion of circular migration suggests that preindustrial society, characterized by a domestic mode of production, is not destroyed, since it continues to ensure the subsistence of those who stay behind, and the social security of those who have emigrated (Gregory and Pich, 1983). Neoclassical Theory of Migration One of the oldest and most commonly used theory used to explain migration is the Neoclassical theory of Migration. A new approach to consumer theory. Borjas also shows that if the arrival of new immigrants on the labour market does have an adverse effect, it is on the pre-existing immigrant population, and on the least skilled native workers. There are, however, a number . First, by founding texts, we refer to the landmark articles or book chapters that have shaped the progress of migration studies. New York: Pergamon Press. In short, alongside the human capital so dear to neoclassical theory, network and kinship capital also exists (social capital). Stark, O., & Levhari, D. (1982). Indeed, unlike immigration from Europe, migration from former colonies, designated as postcolonial, possesses specific features resulting as much from the shared experience of the colony as from the continued experience of the post-colony at destination, marked by ethnic and racial prejudice and by discrimination (Simon, 2010, p. 362). Self-selection and the earnings of immigrants. Differential migration, networks, information and risk. Urban unemployment and wage determination in LDCs: Trade Unions in the Harris-Todaro Model. The first two concern the primary and secondary labour markets. London: Macmillan. Each text marks a major advance in the understanding of migration, its causes and its effects. (Sjaastad, 1962; T odaro, 1970; Borjas, 1980) Value-expectancy (DeJong and . Lundborg, P. (1991). It is founded on the basic premise that well-managed migration can be positive for everyone: the countries of origin and destination, and the migrants themselves (hence the famous slogan win-win-win). Bhagwati, J., & Srinivasan, T. (1974). ), Migration decision making: Multidisciplinary approaches to microlevel studies in developed and developing countries. In this theory, macro-level . Wage distribution and spatial preferences in competitive job search and migration. The Economic and Social Review, 27, 119. But in a more general perspective, certain authors see migration as a response to demand for labour. As stated above, rather than competing, each approach brings specific new insights that must be taken into account when attempting to explain migration. According to this formulation the decision process concerning migration may be viewed fruitfully as a comparison of the present value of benefits and costs of moving. New York: Modern Library. It would be of utmost interest to explore the conception of mobility in these great works, but our purpose is elsewhere. ), remittances will not significantly accelerate local or national development. In particular, literature reviews on the impact of remittances suggest that situations are very heterogeneous and that cash transfers alone are not sufficient to boost the economic development of a region (or country) if there are no genuine investment opportunities in the localities where the beneficiary households live (Skeldon, 2008 and De Haas, 2010). A sequential study of migration and job search. Burda, M. (1993). On reanalyzing the Harris-Todaro model: Policy rankings in the case of sector-specific sticky wages. Borjas, G. (1987). The migration of labor. Mincer, J. And in all cases, the measured effects are very small, or even non-significant. Migration management calls for coordination between governments. Together, they bear witness to the emergence of theories which, after initially focusing on micro-individual approaches centred on cost-benefit analysis, gradually move on to incorporate macro-structural factors. Journal of Political Economy, 70, 8093. (1986). While there is a strong tendency in the literature to distinguish between domestic (internal) and international (external) migration, there is actually just one economic theory of migration. 2023 Springer Nature Switzerland AG. The determinants of interregional and international migration is a topic which has received considerable attention from economists. Frey, B., & Stutzer, A. Journal of Political Economy, 74, 132157. Sjaastad, (1962) presented Human capital theory, in which migration is defined as individual's investment decision (cited by Bauer and Zimmermann, 1999) because individual increases employment perspective or/and uses opportunities of foreign education. Oxford: Blackwell. Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, 52, 241305. Clark, X., Hatton, T., & Williamson, J. However, the existence of an underground economy makes it easier to recruit illegal migrants, helped by migrant networks who smooth their entry into the informal labour market. The economic theory of cross-border migration is concerned with three questionswhy migrate, who migrates, and what are the consequences for source and destination countries? (1979). Studies based on this mode of incorporation, most of which are American, focus primarily on Asian immigrants (Japanese, Koreans), but also on Cubans in Miami. (2002a). The central notion of his theory is based on the principle of geographical separation of the processes of labour force renewal (reproduction) from those of maintenance. 38In their discussion of the factors of refugee migration, Zolberg, Suhrke and Aguayo make an important distinction between internal and external effects. Does this signal a recent absence of major theoretical developments in migration studies? 20Despite Morokvasics powerful plea, the feminist approach to migration has never fully penetrated the dominant spheres of migration research. Brookfield: Ashgate. And above all, for how long will this contradiction persist? Family migration decisions. 41The growing diversity of societies is a major consequence of migration and raises key challenges for managing social, racial and ethnic differences. Explaining U.S. immigration, 19711998. Emigration increases with the expected stream of future wage gains, This paper is concerned with the experience of the Federal Republic of Germany with migratory movements. Lees model introduces the original concept of intervening opportunities between the places of origin and destination. Journal of Political Economy, 81 (Supplement), 514564. Lancaster, K. (1966). Migration is not, therefore, an isolated strategy, but ties in with other demographic behaviours (Gregory and Piche?, 1985; Mertens, 1995). Bonifazi C., Oko?lsci M., Schoorl J., Simon P, Massey D., Arango J., Hugo G., Kouaouci A, Pellegrino A., Taylor J. E, Palloni A., Ceballos M., Espinosa K., Spittel M. This is the latest publication of the author on cairn. This negative viewpoint was reiterated in research on migration and development, a point we will discuss in the next section. Journal of Economic Literature, 40, 402435. Larry Sjaastad (1962) expanded the framework however. Geneva: International Labour Organization. This assertion deserves to be qualified. Because native workers and immigrants are not interchangeable in the production process. We analyze the dynamics of labor migration and the insurance role of remittances in a two-country, real business cycle framework. New York: Penguin. Journal of Labor Economics, 5, 452476.

In conclusion, to the extent that the causes are international, the solutions also call for action at the international level. The family plays a central role in this system. Individuals or families (Mincer 1978) decide to migrate only if the expected future returns exceed the expected costs of migration. Tiebout, C. (1956). The numerous reports on human trafficking testify to the existence of vast smuggling networks, often linked to criminal organizations (Skeldon, 2002; Blanger, forthcoming). 12Zelinskis approach is most commonly criticized for its evolutionist outlook, based on the theory of modernization. 51The period 1960-1980 has often been seen as a time of confrontation between competing migration theories, each claiming supremacy. (1978). Moving away from an individualistic and atomistic vision, migration can now be conceived as the product of collective and family actions linking migrants and non-migrants in a set of relationships that are captured in new analyses centred on the notion of networks. Becker, G. (1974). President Saied made his comments this week at a meeting of the . Latest publication on cairn or another partner portal. Theories of migration: A review. 44Migration theories do not serve solely to understand and explain, but also to justify migration policy choices. Stark, O., & Yitzhaki, S. (1984). Brookfield: Ashgate. 9While Lees model is mentioned in literature reviews on migration theories, it has been widely criticized. They have spawned two major research currents. Drawing on the theory of labour market segmentation as developed by Michael Piore (1979), the authors describe three modes of incorporation. Burda, M. (1995). The need for highly skilled The most problematic aspect of these studies is of a methodological nature. The analytical framework developed here presents migration as a multifactorial and multidimensional phenomenon combining three main dimensions: origin and destination; micro, meso, macro and global analysis levels; economic, social and political aspects. Journal of Regional Science, 43, 139165. Greenwich, CT: JAI Press. His discussion of the communitarian principle, whereby exclusion is justified by the right of communities to self-determination, brings him to the question: If freedom of movement within the state is so important that it overrides the claims of local political communities, on what grounds can we restrict freedom of movement across states? He goes even further, stating a principle also advanced today in the case of temporary migrant workers: It is right to assert that our society ought to admit guest workers to full citizenship. It was not until the late 2000s that this approach resurfaced in a systematic manner, and the recent book by Pcoud and Guchteneire (2009) has shaken many certainties as to the immutability of the utilitarian principle. Village-community ties, village norms, and ethnic and social networks: a review of evidence from the third world. Demography, 26, 114. In 2011, for example, remittances to developing countries totalled USD 372 billion, an increase of 12.1% with respect to 2010, and with an annual growth rate of 7-8%, the total could reach USD 467 billion by 2014 (Ratha and Silwal, 2012). Runciman, W. (1996). reality but did not change core of the original theory. Veenhoven, R. (1999). El anlisis de las redes migratorias ocupa un lugar central tanto en los marcos explicativos como en los trabajos sobre los efectos de la migracin en el desarrollo econmico. Are third world emigration forces abating? Todaro, M. (1976). In: J. Frankel (Ed. It was Akin Mabogunje (1970*) who first proposed a systems approach. She examines the reorganization of industrial production, as reflected in the proliferation of sweatshops exploiting undocumented workers, and of industrial homework. An inquiry into the nature and causes of the wealth of nations. 52We have presented the various theoretical approaches by examining the paths along which new ideas unfold. Far from competing, these approaches each provide specific new insights. Labor migration as a response to relative deprivation. American Economic Review, 60, 126142. At the same time, cash needs oblige some family members to emigrate to those places where labour markets are associated with a market economy. For Tapinos, it is employers who benefit the most. Science, 237, 733738. Cloud State University, St. The laws of migration. Among the factors influencing the migration decision, Lee mentions personal contacts and sources of information about the situation at destination. Sjaastad on migration (1962) "Migration poses two broad and distinct questions for the economist. Research on the effects of migration is in turn fragmented, between macro and micro approaches, and between the contexts of developed and developing countries. Last, he notes that the increase in migration may also be due to migration itself, given that the first waves of migrants overcome the intervening obstacles, making it easier for subsequent waves to follow in their path. It is the interplay of these two processes that drives the circular system. This provides a means to sidestep the fragmentary nature of the demographic field by calling upon the notion of demographic regime. A highly developed theoretical corpus is available to scholars, which must now be developed and applied in specific historical contexts. 50In his view, migrants in illegal employment are one component of the underground economy, but they are not its cause. 26For Stephen Castles and Godula Kosack (1972*), immigration has become a structural necessity in response to the needs of western capitalism. Becker makes it clear that migration is an act of investment in ones human capital when he states The many forms of such [human capital] investments include schooling, on-the-job training, medical care, migration, and searching for information about prices and income (our italics). Journal of Regional Science, 25, 521544. Jerome, H. (1926). This attention reflects both the importance of the flows and the complexity of the behaviour. The text by Zolberg, Suhrke and Aguayo (1986*) looks at refugee migration, a form of migration that was very common throughout the twentieth century and remains so today. Borjas, G. (1990). This methodological shortcoming is linked firstly to the huge number of parameters to be included in the models which, as yet, have defeated all attempts at empirical implementation. Beyond measurement problems, debate often focuses on the economic impact of irregular migration. As she states even the most dynamic and technologically developed sectors of the economy generate jobs that can conceivably be held by unskilled foreign-language workers. (1988). 18Burawoys approach introduces macro-structural factors into the circular migration process. 4). The above theory is verified by laboratory experimental thermal imaging results of moisture migration of siltstone from the Mogao Grottoes cliff. 7Sjaastads paper laid the groundwork for the general schema for migration presented by Everett Lee in 1966*. A second current, linked to postcolonial studies, examines the consequences of transferring the human and symbolic colonial legacy to the heart of the metropolis. This project will incorporate these three areas of research to show the relationship between natural disaster and community integration as related to migration intentions.
