Frontmatter -- Table of Contents -- Introduction: Migrants and Markets: Perspectives from Economics and the Other Social Sciences -- The Impact of Immigration on the Labour Market -- Investigating the Economic Impact of Immigration on the Host Country -- The 'Exit Option' of Labour Migration from East to West Germany -- How Recent Amendments in German Immigration Law Affect Decisions -- Educational Selectivity and Labour Market Attainment of Jewish Immigrants from the Former Soviet Union in Israel and Germany in the 1990s -- States as Clubs? -- Chinese Student Migration in Europe -- Assessing Interdependencies between Sector Structures and Labour Migration -- Workers' Remittances and International Risk Sharing -- Skills and Remittances -- The Impact of Migration on Foreign Trade in Bolivia -- List of Contributors
Summary: Over the course of their interaction, economics and migration research have treated each other with mutual indifference. When migration research attempted to overstretch its bounds, economics reduced its analytical scope to those areas that originally seemed to belong to the genuine economic sphere. This volume considers eleven case studies that aim to overcome the artificial barrier between the two disciplines by applying the economic method to migratory phenomena, utilizing economic theories in order to explain migratory patterns, and regarding the structure and development of markets as crucial to the shaping of population stocks and the flow of migrants.
